Nearly 1,300 pilots at Allegiant Travel have ratified a new two-year collective bargaining agreement negotiated with the Teamsters union. The agreement provides pilots with higher hourly wages, improved retirement benefits, and changes to workplace rules. The deal follows years of contentious negotiations, including pilot pickets at 22 U.S. airports in 2025 demanding better pay and scheduling conditions. The agreement illustrates how sustained union pressure and collective bargaining can result in improvements to compensation and working conditions.
