Register Now For Virtual Tentative Agreement (TA) Roadshows
Starting next week, our Negotiating Committee will be hitting the road for a series of roadshows to bring the details of the tentative agreement (TA) directly to you. Each roadshow will include a presentation by the Negotiating Committee about the TA, followed by a question-and-answer session. These sessions are your opportunity to ask questions and get all the information you need to cast an informed vote.
How Will The Updated Insurance Rates Work If The TA Is Ratified?
Are you curious about how the updated insurance rates will work if the TA is ratified? Want to understand how your contributions could change and the specific limits that will be set to cap potential increases? Check out our response to these questions and take a look at some real-life examples illustrating what the numbers might look like.
Stepping Through The Pay Scale
Want to know where you stand with your current pay step and what your potential pay increases could look like if the TA gets ratified? Following ratification, you can expect an initial raise, followed by two annual increases over the life of the agreement until you reach the top of the pay scale at year 14. Watch our video guide to easily navigate stepping through the pay scale and see an example of how your specific pay step could increase over the life of the agreement.
Behind The Numbers: Straight Pay Rate Increases
Learn more about the straight pay rate increases for each pay step without the raises as you move through the pay scale with seniority. These include a 24.3% average increase on the date of ratification, a 3% increase one year later, and another 3% increase one year after that. In total, it adds up to a 32% average pay rate increase over the life of the agreement—and that’s without factoring in the compensation from boarding pay.
More About Boarding Pay
Boarding Pay is a new addition to the contract, making us the first to secure this benefit for unionized Flight Attendants. Among our industry competitors, only Delta Flight Attendants receive direct pay for boarding, set at 50% of their pay rate and subject to change by Delta management at any time. To address some of the common questions about what Boarding Pay means for us, take a look at some of the Boarding Pay FAQs.
