Comprehensive interview intel — history, fleet, compensation, hiring, culture, and strategy. Know the company inside and out before you walk in.
Allegiant Air is an ultra-low-cost carrier operating a mixed Airbus/Boeing fleet of approximately 128-132 aircraft (A319, A320, and 737 MAX 8-200) across 15+ domiciles, with a unique point-to-point business model connecting small and mid-size cities to leisure destinations. It is headquartered in Summerlin (Las Vegas), Nevada, and employs approximately 1,141-1,400 pilots represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT). Gregory C. Anderson serves as CEO (promoted September 2024), with founder Maurice J. Gallagher Jr. serving as Executive Chairman.
For interview purposes, the simplest way to frame Allegiant is this: it is the most uniquely positioned ULCC in America — the only carrier that exclusively targets small and mid-size markets with all-nonstop, point-to-point service to leisure destinations. Allegiant is in the middle of three transformative developments: (1) a historic fleet transition from all-Airbus to Boeing 737 MAX, (2) a pending $1.5 billion acquisition of Sun Country Airlines announced January 2026, and (3) a deeply contentious pilot contract situation — pilots have been working under their 2016 CBA for over 1,600 days, with 97% having voted ready to strike and 98% having voted no confidence in Chairman Gallagher's leadership.
