Allegiant Travel Co.’s airline won a court order blocking a pilots’ strike, thwarting what would have been the first walkout at a major U.S. carrier in almost five years.
The decision was issued in federal court in Las Vegas on Wednesday. Members of Airline Professionals Association Teamsters Local 1224 had planned to strike Thursday, saying Allegiant Airlines hasn’t complied with a court decision to reverse a scheduling system change and restore other benefits.
