Allegiant Air Pilots Picket 22 US Airports
Allegiant Air pilots will stage informational pickets at 22 U.S. airports on November 18, 2025, as contract talks remain unresolved after nearly five years.
More than 1,400 pilots represented by Teamsters Local 2118 plan coordinated informational pickets across the country on November 18, 2025. The action is expressly not a strike: unions say it’s a public demonstration to pressure talks while maintaining normal flight operations.
Allegiant Air has not issued a public statement about the demonstrations or the latest bargaining session. Pilots are pushing for improved pay, scheduling protections and safer working conditions after nearly five years of negotiations that remain unresolved.
Why Allegiant Air pilots are picketing
The pickets are informational only, meaning participating pilots will not withhold labor or ground aircraft. Teamsters Local 2118 told members the demonstrations aim to raise awareness among passengers, communities and media about contract stalemates. Airports on the list include major domestic gateways and smaller regional hubs across multiple states.
- Key facts: November 18, 2025 — 22 U.S. airports — over 1,400 pilots — Teamsters Local 2118 — action = informational pickets (not a strike) — Allegiant Air pilots seeking better pay and conditions.
Industry watchers say informational pickets are a common next step when bargaining stalls: they escalate visibility without disrupting scheduled services. Airlines typically maintain normal operations during such demonstrations, and Allegiant has not reported operational impacts tied to the November 18 activities.
For passengers, the practical takeaway is simple: expect flights to operate as scheduled, but allow extra time at airports where pickets occur. Travelers with concerns should monitor their flight status through Allegiant’s official channels and check airport advisories on the day.
