Pilots at Allegiant Air, an American low-cost airline owned by Allegiant Travel Co., will not be going on strike as a temporary restraining order has been issued by a federal court. People having travel plans will not have to think about cancelling their plans now. The court order blocked Allegiant Airlines' pilots from going on strike.

The strike would have cancelled 250 flights and because of that more than 30,000 people would have got affected. At the Chicago Rockford International Airport, the planes of the airlines have the capacity to fly 2,000 people a week. Allegiant doesn't have sufficient replacement crews to fly its normal schedule.

According to Allegiant, "It has every reason to believe that the Teamsters will honor the court's instructions and will not be able to continue with their illegal intention to strike.. All scheduled Allegiant flights are expected to operate normally".

The airline's busiest travel days include Thursday. Pilots, who work for the airline, which flies out of Rockford, were planning to go on strike tomorrow. Pilots planned to go on strike after over two years of fruitless contract talks. There were also some other problems between the airline professionals and management.

Tomorrow, Allegiant's first airplane will fly out of the Chicago Rockford International Airport and will head to Orlando, Florida. The strike would have affected travelers heading to major places across the US together with Phoenix, Orlando, Tampa and Las Vegas.

According to Allegiant Airlines, the strike would have been against the law and the order was required for preventing cancelled flights, which would have affected thousands of travelers in the Easter long weekend.
