More than 97 percent of Allegiant Airlines' 1,300 pilots have authorized their union to hold a strike vote even though the airline has offered them a 70 percent pay hike over the next five years. Teamsters Local 2118 said the increase isn't enough to bring Allegiant pilots to the levels they need. "Allegiant pilots are some of the most overworked and underpaid in the airline industry," the union said in a statement. The strike cannot be held for at least a month after the strike vote and the union is still in talks at the National Media Relations Board.
Haven’t heard of Allegiant Air for some time, but I am not in the market for air travel in the US any more.
It was noteworthy for serving BLI thus attracted many people from southwest BC, at least before the tighter border bother and the panicdemic.
Appears to focus on secondary cities, such as Provo UT which is 43 miles south of SLC.
(Secondary airports can be attractive to people living or working on their side of a big mess like Toronto, though some airlines did not succeed with that strategy.
Other examples include PAE as SEATAC is a hike south through congested Seattle, Abbotsford BC east of YVR, …)
I’ve never heard of the “National Media Relations Board.” Did you mean the National Mediation Board, which under the Railway Labor Act of 1926 governs labor relations in the airline industry?
