Allegiant Air says there is 'a lot to negotiate' with International Brotherhood of Teamsters
Allegiant Air COO Jude Bricker, speaking at the CAPA Americas Aviation Summit, stated (12-Apr-2016) he does not have a good answer for the three-year long pilot negotiations with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. This is the first unionised contract between pilots and management, and Mr Bricker concluded there is "just a lot to negotiate". He remarked the slow negotiations are not due to a lack of effort by either side or the US National Mediation Board.
