The Pilot's Union reported to the members tonight that a settlement has been reached they feel confident will be approved by the vote of the members. That is good news for all of the Air Log employees to know that a work action has been avoided....barring a "No Vote" on the final offer by the company.
I am glad that a compromise has been reached....and everyone can get back to work.
The company also announced the compromise settlement...

Subject: Contract Negotiations
It is with great pleasure that we announce that representatives from Offshore Logistics and the OPEIU local 107 have today reached tentative approval on a new comprehensive contract for the pilots of Air Logistics. This multi-year agreement will set a new pay standard in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico and will also offer a comprehensive benefit package. Although the execution of this agreement is subject to the ratification vote by the pilots, both the Union and the Company have committed to endorse the proposal and actively work toward this ratification.
I would like to particularly commend all the Air Logistics employees who have, during this lengthy and sometimes contentious process, continued to perform their duties in a safe and professional manner. We can now continue to focus on our core competencies of safety, service, and efficiency and deliver to our customers a superior level of performance.
