Pilots at Alaska Airlines have ratified an agreement with management that provides an across-the-board pay increase of 11.05% retroactive to June 1 and annual increases through 2004.
The new agreement calls for raises for the 1,461 pilots of 5% in 2002 and 4% each in 2003 and 2004. The agreement extends the contract between the Air Line Pilots Assn. local and the company for two years to Apr. 30, 2005.
Negotiations to set rates of pay for Alaska's Boeing 737-900 flying resulted in the new agreement. In May, an arbitrator ruled that 737-900 pilots should be paid an 11.05% pay increase, with an addition 5% in 2002. The airline applied the pay increase for pilots of both the MD-80 and the 737 for reasons of equity and operational efficiency, according to the union.
ALPA and the company reached agreement on Aug. 3. The agreement was ratified last Friday.
In another labor development, Air Wisconsin and the International Assn. of Machinists and Aerospace Workers said they had reached tentative agreements for 1,500 clerical, office, fleet and passenger service employees. No details are available.
