LAS VEGAS - Allegiant Air (NASDAQ:ALGT) pilots, represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 2118, announced Thursday they are preparing to hold a formal Vote of No Confidence in the airline’s current management team and Board of Directors. According to InvestingPro data, the airline’s stock has shown significant volatility, with a beta of 1.72, indicating higher market sensitivity than its peers.
The pilots cited concerns about the company’s financial performance and business decisions, including a 50% drop in market value over six months, a $500 million loss on the Sunseeker Resort project, and spending on ventures outside the airline’s core business. Financial metrics from InvestingPro reveal the company’s challenges, with a -$286 million net income and a concerning Altman Z-Score of 1.22, though analysts expect profitability to return this year.
"Contract or not, [Maury] Gallagher and [Greg] Anderson’s management team have proven that they don’t have what it takes to lead an airline," said Captain Kevin Winter, representing Local 2118, according to the press release.
Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien characterized Allegiant’s leadership culture as "toxic" and "fueled by arrogance."
The pilots’ representatives indicated the vote extends beyond ongoing contract negotiations, focusing on broader leadership concerns they believe affect the airline’s stability.
"We are doing this to protect the airline and the Allegiant brand that we built," said Captain Tyler Heavey in the statement.
Greg Unterseher, Trustee of Local 2118, added that "a no confidence vote is not something any Union takes lightly," stating pilots believe leadership change is necessary for the interests of the airline, employees, customers, and shareholders.
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters represents over 1.3 million workers across the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico, according to information provided in the press release statement.
