How We Support You

  • We meet weekly with union leadership and maintain active communication to stay aligned on pilot concerns.

  • If you have questions about union matters, a steward is your best first contact—and if we don’t have the answer, we’ll connect you with the right committee.

  • If you are notified of a Section 18 disciplinary hearing, a steward will represent you at the hearing.

Avoid Preventable Discipline

To protect yourself, take note of these key reminders:
✅ Missed Assignments – Update your Crew Services contact ringtone to “Emergency Bypass” so it rings even when on Do Not Disturb or vibrate.
✅ CBT Deadlines – Complete all required CBTs on time.
✅ Aircraft Issues – If you report an issue or have an exceedance (vibration, bird strike, fume event, minor flap overspeed), ensure an M300 logbook entry is completed.
✅ Medical Certificate – Upload your medical certificate to Prodefis before the due date. If delayed, notify your Chief Pilot by the 25th of the month.
✅ Team Member Handbook – Review it, as it is increasingly cited in disciplinary hearings.

CPaT Error

/by

Allegiant Pilots,

An error has been discovered regarding the records logging completion of CPaT CBTs. As a result of this error, a few pilots have reported to the Steward group that they were Removed From Service Unpaid (RFSU) for not completing their CBTs in CPaT.

This RFSU occurred even despite the pilots not only having completed their CBTs, but also showing their own proof of completion which was done prior to the 31JAN deadline.

If you or anyone you know has been RFSU’d due to this error, and the courses were completed on time, we ask that you do the following:

  1. Using your web browser, access the “Completion Report” on the allegiantair.cpat website.
  2. Save the completion certificates from the website.
  3. Please forward completion certificates and/or any screenshots showing completion with time stamps to Stewards@apa2118.org.

Thank you for your help as we collect all available data and resolve this with the company as expeditiously as possible!

 

In Unity,

APA Local 2118 Stewards Group
