Negotiations Update 7

Highlights of AFA's Opening Proposals


Highlights of AFA’s Opening Proposals


We exchanged opening proposals with management on Tuesday, February 21, 2017. As the pilots’ negotiations are in the ratification phase and drawing to a close, we anticipate moving forward without distractions. We plan to meet each month; our next session is the week of March 13th. The company will be providing information on financials, sick leave usage, 401(k) participation and various scheduling and utilization reports, which will aid in supporting our positions at the bargaining table. Below are the highlights of our proposals to management.


Pay

  • Increase total FA compensation for interisland and int’l: pay rates, rigs, premium/penalty pays, etc.

  • Improve per diem

  • Increase vacation credit

  • Eliminate sick leave cap

  • Increase commission for onboard sales

  • Secure signing bonus and retroactive pay

Work Rules
