63 Pilots Hold Informational Picket at SFB Airport Near Orlando
/by Joshua MartinSanford, FL (December 11, 2024) – 63 pilots gathered in front of the Sanford – Orlando International Airport on Wednesday, December 11, for an informational picket to continue to put pressure on the airline for a fair, equitable contract. The pilots have been without an amended contract for nearly four years and demand better pay in line with what other pilots earn across the country. Although Allegiant Air will tell you it offered a contract that includes a 50% pay increase for pilots, it also comes with concessions in other areas such as seniority, scheduling and work rules. The Allegiant Pilots Association refuses to accept these concessions as they impede upon their quality of life. These concessions also breed a toxic work culture by demoralizing our pilots. Currently, Allegiant Air pilots are some of the most underpaid in the industry.
In October, the pilots voted nearly unanimously (97.4%) to strike and are ready to do so if approved in the mediation process with Allegiant Air. A strike would disrupt routes and cause considerable cancellations and other delays for passengers.
“We’re not being unreasonable – we just want to be treated the same as every other pilot in America,” said Captain Aaron Adrian, an Allegiant Teamsters pilot with Local 2118.

100 Pilots Picket Outside St. Pete-Clearwater Airport
/by Joshua MartinCLEARWATER, FL (December 10, 2024) – 100 Allegiant Air pilots picketed outside the St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport on December 10 as they continue to demand a fair, equitable contract from Allegiant Air. Since 2021, the Allegiant Pilots Association has been working without an amended contract. Although Allegiant Air has offered a proposed amended contract, it still does not give pilots industry-standard pay and asks for concessions in other areas including scheduling, seniority, and work rules. Allegiant Air pilots are currently the most underpaid in the industry.
The pilots voted nearly unanimously (97.4%) to strike and are ready to do so if approved in the mediation process with Allegiant Air, if contract negotiations fail. A strike would disrupt routes and cause considerable cancellations and other delays in passenger flights.
“We’re not being unreasonable – we just want to be treated the same as every other pilot in America,” said Captain Aaron Adrian, an Allegiant Teamsters pilot with Local 2118. “We’re here today to show Allegiant just how serious we are.”
