We are unique because we have small well connected pilot group with good union communication and support. We were the only airline to take no concessions during the pandemic because of this. Our unity is solidified by the creation of our own local within teamsters, and by the broad mistreatment of our pilot group by management. Allegiant is also unique because we are the only us airline to ever have profit margins above 20%. There are calculations done by some of the pilots here that show we are easily the most valuable pilots in the US on a net income per pilot basis. We are professionals who have helped create the most profitable and resilient airline in the world during the pandemic. It will take years for a new contract because we know how good Allegiant’s business model is and the role that we play in it. We won’t settle for anything less than industry leading pay and QOL, and we have the EXCO to make it happen
