Bellingham Allegiant Pilots Picket for Higher Wages as Part of Nationwide Action

At 10 a.m., Allegiant Air pilots represented by Teamsters Local 2118 held a nationwide picket across 22 airport bases, demanding a fair contract.
After five years of talks, Allegiant Air pilots say offers remain far below industry standards and they press for industry-standard pay, work rules, scheduling and fairness.
Allegiant says it offered an immediate 50% hourly wage increase scaling to 70% over 5 years and has accrued retention bonuses since June 2023, while David White warned, `Travel plans may be impacted in the near future.`
Organizers emphasized the picketing is informational, not a strike, and Allegiant says it operates a full schedule while airport picket visuals showed critical signs and pilots from other airlines.
Coinciding with Pittsburgh International Airport's new terminal, Allegiant pilots hope the fanfare highlights local routes, with about 400,000 one-way Allegiant tickets last year and talks mediated by the National Mediation Board.
