Allegiant recently reached a new tentative agreement (TA) with the Transport Workers Union (TWU) chapter 577 which represents the flight attendants who work for the Las Vegas-based ultra-low-cost carrier. This new agreement is for the successor of the respective parties’ first collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that was amendable on Dec. 31, 2022.

“We are encouraged the negotiating teams for both Allegiant and the TWU have come to a tentative agreement,” Allegiant President Gregory C. Anderson said in a press release. “Our cabin crew take care of our customers as our ambassadors in the sky. This contract is structured to meaningfully improve their experience and better recognize their vital role as part of Team Allegiant. We look forward to the next step in the process.”

The TWU local 577 represents over 1,800 flight attendants at the carrier across more than 24 bases in the route network. The new TA includes 25% pay increases and other quality of life improvements. Now, the union’s full membership will need to decide and vote in order for it to be ratified.
