American Airlines Flight Attendants Ratify New Contract
News summary

Flight attendants at PSA Airlines have overwhelmingly voted 99.2% to authorize a strike against management due to unsatisfactory contract negotiations, demanding significant pay increases and improved working conditions. Meanwhile, American Airlines flight attendants, represented by the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, have ratified a new five-year contract worth $4.2 billion, which includes immediate wage increases of 18% to 20.5% and compensation for time spent boarding flights. The new agreement, celebrated by American Airlines CEO Robert Isom, aims to enhance the working environment for nearly 28,000 flight attendants and improve their quality of life. However, voting outcomes varied significantly across different crew bases, with Los Angeles showing the least support at 69%. The ongoing negotiations and strikes highlight the broader challenges faced by airlines and their employees in the post-pandemic era. The situation reflects a growing demand for fair pay and better working conditions across the aviation industry.
