Allegiant Air

Dear Pilots,
We just completed another productive negotiating session with Local 1224. Both sides built on the positive momentum created at last month’s meetings and made additional progress toward reaching an agreement.
Even though there is still much more work to be done and significant issues for Allegiant and Local 1224 to work out, I am pleased to report that during this session, we reached tentative agreements on several important contract sections.
Additional negotiating sessions with Local 1224 are already scheduled for April and May, which we hope will lead to continued progress. Our next session is scheduled for April 6th-8th in Philadelphia.
With both sides presenting serious proposals and working together, we are moving closer to a deal.
It is important to recognize that the final contract must reflect Allegiant’s unique business model, which contributes directly to the growth of the company and creates opportunities for our pilots. Our “out and back” network of routes with virtually no competition, low cost structure and low aircraft utilization combine to provide a successful roadmap both for Allegiant’s and your future growth.
We will continue to work hard with Local 1224 in this process and keep you updated on developments.
Sincerely,
Trent
Trent Porter
Vice President, Financial Planning & Analysis
