Our Strategy

  • Vision & Approach

    • The Building Unity Slate will rebuild the Allegiant pilots’ union “De Novo” — from the ground up — to restore trust, transparency, and unity after trusteeship.

    • Your Union will be responsive to your needs.

    • Leadership sees their role as a duty to pilots, not a career move, focused on fairness and professionalism.

  • Contract Negotiations

    • Launch an education and survey campaign so pilots understand open issues and can guide the NC’s decisions based on collective feedback.

    • With survey results, conduct a full review of the Negotiating Committee’s (NC) progress to decide whether to maintain or revise current strategy.

    • Commit to achieving an industry-standard contract that protects all pilots — will not agree to provisions that would cause furloughs or downgrades.

    • Support the NC with necessary resources to finish negotiations.

  • Infrastructure & Operations

    • Rebuild the local union structure to be responsive, sustainable, and modernized.

    • Invest in technology and communication systems to keep members informed and connected.

    • Reassess staffing and restructure as needed for efficiency and effectiveness.

    • Strengthen the committee system for professionalism, accountability, and responsiveness.

  • Committees & Training

    • Work with current committee chairs / or appoint new chairs as needed to rebuild all committees from scratch (“De Novo”), with each executive board member overseeing 3–4 committees.

    • Each committee will have clear mandates and policies in written form.

    • Hold biweekly accountability calls and set clear expectations.

    • Implement training and onboarding for all volunteers; provide budgets for continuing education and best practices.

    • Participate in joint training sessions with other airline unions.

    • Encourage pilot participation — “It’s your union; we can’t build it alone.”

    New Committees & Initiatives:

    Internal Training Committee: Develop structured, consistent training programs using Teamsters International and inter-union partnerships.

    Strategic Preparedness Committee → Family Awareness Committee: After contract ratification, shift focus to pilot and family unity through base events and community activities.

    Future Negotiating Committee: Prepare early for the next contract cycle by recruiting qualified pilots, offering negotiation training, and maintaining continuous industry awareness.

  • Communications, Education & Engagement

    • Relaunch the Education Committee to teach members about union history, structure, and the Railway Labor Act.

    • Improve transparency and engagement through modernized systems — updated software, a better website, and effective virtual town halls.

    • Prioritize open, consistent communication and member involvement at all levels.

    Overall Goal

    To build a modern, united, informed, and empowered pilot union—grounded in fairness, professionalism, and proactive leadership—ensuring every Allegiant pilot has a strong voice and a secure future.
