Final Draft of Contract 

​

Posted: December 24, 2020

The Negotiating Committee (NC) wishes all of you a very happy holiday season! While many of us will be celebrating remotely with family and friends, it is still a time to celebrate all the wonderful people in our lives and count our blessings. And what celebration would be complete without the Final Draft of our AFA Contract!? For months, the NC has been hard at work putting the final product together.  [...]

Posted: December 13, 2020

As the year draws to a close, we are pleased to say that we are very close to finalizing and distributing the new contract.

In addition, throughout the process of finalizing the contract, language was changed to make it clearer for everyone and to better reflect both [...]

Non-Published Charters

​

Posted: July 10, 2020

As part of the ongoing contract implementation process, we will soon be switching over to the new non-published charter notification and award process that we were able to improve during negotiations.

Status Update 

​

Posted: June 29, 2020

We are pleased to announce that over the past two weeks we’ve begun to make a shift towards the finalization of the language of our new contract.

​

Posted: June 14, 2020

We are pleased to report that we continue to make progress on implementation of the negotiated changes to our Contract.

Late this afternoon we confirmed that the Ratification Bonus payments were taxed at the supplemental rate of 22% instead of the normal rate for each Flight Attendant. The company apologized for the error and did not catch the issue until they went through to check on the paychecks.

They immediately went to work on correcting the problem Here is how it will be corrected. [...]

What's in effect?

​

Posted: April 17, 2020

We’ve just wrapped up our week of virtual meetings among ourselves and with the company regarding the implementation and integration of our new contract. We’ve made some progress on both fronts, though we hope to be able to pick up the pace of both processes in the coming weeks. One significant change to report is that our new wage rates will be in effect for our May 7th paychecks! [...]

Ratification Bonus Payments 

​

Posted: April 09, 2020

Over the past few days, we met with the company to discuss issues surrounding the Ratification Bonus payments. When we reached a Tentative Agreement with the company last month, one of their big concerns was paying the $19.5M Ratification Bonus all at once. Their proposal was to spread the payments over a year in 24 (twice-monthly) payments. Since then our discussions have revealed [...]
