Allegiant pilots could be in line for one of the biggest paydays the airline has ever approved.

The airline and its pilots have reached a tentative contract that includes about $300 million in retention bonuses, major pay raises, better retirement benefits, and new quality-of-life improvements.

The deal still needs to be ratified by Allegiant’s roughly 1,400 pilots.

The numbers are eye-catching.

A 12-year captain’s hourly pay would climb from $232 to $355 by 2028, while a first-year first officer would see their hourly pay increase by more than 100% compared to the current contract.

The agreement also includes:
✈️ Around $300 million in retention bonus payments.
✈️ A 15% company-funded 401(k) contribution with no employee contribution required.
✈️ Three weeks of paid parental leave.
✈️ At least 12 days off per bid period once a new scheduling system is introduced.
✈️ Special protections for Sun Country pilots during the airlines’ integration.

If pilots approve the deal, it could become one of the most significant labor agreements in Allegiant’s history.
