SEATTLE, Washington - Alaska Airlines pilots voted to approve a new 3-year labor contract on Monday.
The pilots have a tentative agreement with Alaska Airlines on a deal that brings improvements to job security, pay, scheduling flexibility, and other quality-of-life provisions, according to an“For years, we’ve been polling our pilots to ensure this agreement would meet their needs, and today’s vote makes it clear that the major deficiencies in our contract have been addressed,” Capt. Will McQuillen, chairman of the Alaska Airlines Master Executive Council said.
In April, Alaska Airlines pilots picketed after hitting a wall in contract negotiations with the airline that have lasted nearly three years. “While it took some time, I’m glad to have them working under a new contract that values their contributions to Alaska. I’m grateful to our colleagues at ALPA who bargained with determination and a fierce dedication to our pilots. This new contract reiterates what many of us have known for decades: Alaska is a great place to spend a pilot career,” Alaska Airlines CEO Ben Minicucci said.Copyright 2022 KTUU. All rights reserved.
