Pilot tensions are high at Allegiant Air as they demand industry-standard contracts through concerted efforts, including picketing and the recent move toward authorizing a strike. Citing four years of negations without resolution, pilots picketed at Gerald R. Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids, where FOX 17 reported pilot Aaron Adrian stated, “As the professional pilots of Allegiant Air, it’s time to seal this deal and get the contract done.” Under the Teamsters Union, the pilots are engaged in discussions with the National Mediation Board centered on service hours and scheduling.
