During our final Mediated Session this week in Washington, D.C., we reached a Tentative Agreement based on the priorities you identified in these targeted negotiations. Some of the changes achieved in Tentative Agreement Two (TA2) include:
- Improved Base Pay Rates
- Restrictions on red-eye flying
- Sit Pay for scheduled and rescheduled sits over 2.5 hours
- Increased money for Retro payments
- Improved language in Hotels and Electronic Notification
The Tentative Agreement will be presented to AFA United Master Executive Council (MEC) at a Special Meeting on Wednesday, April 1st. The MEC, which is comprised of the 14 Local Presidents, will review and vote on whether to send the Tentative Agreement for Membership Ratification.
If approved by the MEC, we will release full details of the Tentative Agreement on Friday, April 3rd. During the ratification process, Members will receive access to the following:
- Full Tentative Agreement language (PDF Full Text)
- Summary of Changes
- Pay Calculators
- Informational articles, videos, and graphics
In addition to the online support at UnitedFAcontract.org, Members will also receive a printed copy of the Summary & Voting Booklet, along with their confidential voting credentials, mailed to the address on file.
Voting on the Tentative Agreement will open on April 23rd at noon ET and close on May 12th at noon ET. If the Tentative Agreement is ratified by the Membership, the improved pay scales and Boarding Pay would go into effect on May 31, with the June Bid period.
We thank everyone for your support throughout the process and look forward to sharing the full details.
In Solidarity,
Your Negotiating Committee,
