Allegiant Travel pilots’ Local 2118 to hold Vote of No Confidence in management

The pilots of Allegiant Air, represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 2118, are preparing to hold a formal Vote of No Confidence in Allegiant’s current management team and its Board of Directors. “Contract or not, (Maury) Gallagher and (Greg) Anderson’s management team have proven that they don’t have what it takes to lead an airline,” said Captain Kevn Winter on behalf of Local 2118. “The last several years have been failure after embarrassing failure. If pilots had even 1% of this level of failure in the flight deck, our careers would be over. It is time for management to be held accountable.” The Local claimed that Allegiant’s leadership “has presided over a 50% collapse in the company’s market value in just six months, a $500M loss on the failed Sunseeker Resort project, the shutdown of its GMS Racing NASCAR team, and millions wasted on unrelated ventures such as the ‘Allegiant Nonstop’ entertainment centers”. Founded in 1903, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters represents over 1.3 million people in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico.
