under what proof do you have that the bonus would be in jeopardy. The agreement was between management and the pilots, the reason its signed as teamsters is that they are the representing party at the time of signing. The pilot that signed the agreement was a G4 pilot. I have emails stating the company owes me not the teamsters that money. I would agree that confirmation from actual ALPA legal would be needed to verify that we would not void that agreement.

JR Cap at SCA
 

Not trying to upset any feathers but at SCA we have a 15% direct contribution. Most captain line holders hit the 46,500 max and get a good bonus check. As a 2nd year FO working hard, the company gave me 33K last year. What’s your retirement deal?

Everything in our contract is crap. You would be had pressed to find a contract worse than ours in the us 121 world.

Great reason to join the ALPA side for a hard fought respectable 121 contract.

Allegiant pilots do not have a company retirement plan. 401k match is it.

Bring that agreement to any labor attorney. I’ve spoken to everyone I can in our union as well as a myriad of contacts at other airlines.

The most senior people at this airline have received outside counsel on this matter.

There’s nothing I’d like more than to walk away from IBT….. but I will not take any action to do so until the cash hits the account in full.

I’m sure the company will tell us all otherwise…. But the agreement was made specifically with the teamsters. A move away from them would result in the company having the option of not paying.

I would for sure not take the companies take on this. I would also not take the IBT take on this either. The agreement was with the pilots via their rep at the time of the agreement. The agreement was with the pilot of G4 not IBT. IBT signed as the representation of the pilot.

It will be interesting to watch. With ALGT being the buyer, I’m sure they will want to bring SY over and gladly welcome them to the ALGT contract. Rumor talks are always cheap but when this stuff comes to fruition, it gets very complicated. I’m not really seeing these two as a compatible couple but it will be fun to watch.

in what ways are we not compatible, The CEO of SY came from ALGT and they do basically the same thing on the pax and charter side as G4 only difference is the Cargo for Amazon. No base or major route overlap. For the two companies and stock holders its likely a great deal. we will see if employees get a share.

Yes, we almost had a successful ALPA drive here over the summer. My guess is that Allegiant will be ALPA at the end of this merger
