US Airways Flight Attendant Deal Raises Pay, Protects in Merger
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — After five years of talks, US Airways(LCC) and its flight attendants have reached a tentative agreement on a deal that provides some of the industry’s highest hourly rates as well as strong protections in the event of a merger.
Talks had moved slowly in the years following the 2005 merger between US Airways and America West, and flight attendants worked under separate contracts. But “the company decided sometime in the past six months that it was important to finish these negotiations and put the two flight attendant groups together,” said Mike Flores, president of the US Airways chapter of the Association of Flight Attendants, in an interview. He said federal mediators strongly encouraged both parties to reach a deal.
