(Reuters) – The union representing Alaska Airlines flight attendants said on Friday they had reached a preliminary agreement on a record contract with the carrier.
Details of the deal will be reviewed by union leadership, followed by a ratification vote by members, a flight attendant spokesman said.
“Through our combined efforts, we were able to reach an agreement that ensures quality of life and continued career advancement in Alaska,” Alaska Airlines said in a statement emailed to Reuters on Friday.
The American Airlines (NASDAQ:) flight attendants union said a day earlier that their union had failed to reach an agreement on a new contract and was moving closer to a strike.
However, American Airlines said it will continue to negotiate with the union to ensure its flight attendants benefit from the contract.
