American Airlines offers $4.2B boost to flight attendants under new contract

American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL) has agreed to provide $4.2B in additional pay and benefits for its flight attendants over five years as part of a tentative labor agreement announced last week, the union representing the staff members said Friday.

The Association of Professional Flight Attendants, which spearheaded the contract negotiations with the carrier, announced the specifics of the deal following a meeting with its Board of Directors and Executive Committee on July 24.

Once the deal is approved, the workers will receive an immediate wage increase of 18%–20.5%, followed by 2.75%, 3.0%, 3.0%, and 3.5% pay hikes in subsequent years. The total pay increase stands at 33%–36% over the duration of the contract.

The tentative agreement reached last week averted a major trade union action from 28,000-strong American Airlines (AAL) flight attendants.

“This agreement is not just a win for us today but a foundation for a fairer future for all flight attendants,” the union said. The tentative agreement still needs to be ratified by front-line workers in a vote beginning next month.
