Negotiating Committee Update – July 9, 2025
Fellow Pilots,
Yesterday, we reached out to the Company and indicated that we will provide a comprehensive proposal on the remaining open items of the contract. We offered to meet in person next week to answer any questions that the company may have; we are currently awaiting a response.
The Union’s positions have not changed. From day one, the Union has been willing to bargain fairly and in good faith. Unfortunately, the Company has taken a very different approach — one marked by delays, substandard and unrealistic proposals, and a general unwillingness to bargain fairly. The company claimed that, unlike the rest of the industry, they could not make any progress unless they received a comprehensive proposal.
Now, they will have no more excuses.
We’ve made every attempt to bargain fairly, including offering operational flexibility and pragmatic solutions unique to Allegiant’s business model. Instead of working together to close out this contract, they have instead engaged in surface bargaining and delay tactics.
The intent of our comprehensive proposal is to remove any remaining pretense for their continued stalling and inaction. We have heard the Company claim they are ready to make a deal if they could just see the full picture; they are about to have it. At this late stage of bargaining, we expect nothing less than for management to come prepared to reach an agreement without further delays and/or excuses. If their below market offers and deliberate procrastination continue, the fault will remain where it always has been — with management.
We continue to do everything possible to move this process toward a just and timely conclusion. Our goal has always been a fair agreement — nothing less, and certainly nothing that moves us backward or is worse than what we currently have.
We will not accept concessions! More to follow.
In Unity,
Captain Joshua Allen
