Alaska Airlines, a subsidiary of Alaska Air Group (ALK), and the Air Line Pilots Association, International announced reaching tentative agreement on a new five-year contract for the carrier's 1,480 pilots.
The proposed contract includes pay raises, and quality of life and productivity improvements. Air Line Pilots Association's leadership is unanimously recommending that Alaska pilots ratify the tentative agreement, and a vote is expected to be completed in mid-July. The current contract was ratified in May 2009 and became amendable on April 1. Negotiators for ALPA and Alaska Airlines have been working on a new contract since last summer.
"I want to thank and congratulate the negotiators for Alaska and ALPA for reaching tentative agreement on a long-term contract, which is unusual in our industry," said Gary Beck, Alaska Airlines' vice president of flight operations.
