(Reuters) – A union representing Alaska Airlines flight attendants said on Friday it had reached a tentative agreement for a standard contract with the carrier.
Details of the deal will be reviewed by union leadership, followed by a vote to ratify members, the flight attendant assistant said.
“With our joint efforts, we were able to reach an agreement that provides quality of life and continued career growth in Alaska,” Alaska Airlines said in an emailed statement to Reuters on Friday.
The flight attendants union at American Airlines (NASDAQ:) said the previous day that their union had failed to reach an agreement on a new contract, and that they were close to going on strike.
However, American Airlines said it will continue to negotiate with the union so its flight attendants benefit from the contract.
