Alaska Airlines and its Flight Attendants Tentatively Agree on Five-Year Contract


Not trying to start a discussion about Flight Attendants but has anyone seen the details to their CBA amendments? I'm curious what they were able to negotiate in the current environment....

Just talked with some and they don't and won't see the details for a couple weeks. Probably some rumors bouncing around though.

Out of curiosity, how do FA's get paid? By the hour like pilots? Straight salary?

By the hour, same as pilots. They get per diem the same way, etc. It's mostly the same, although some differences exist.

No it's not. If you don't KNOW the answer why do you give and answer? Our flight attnedants are NOT paid by the hour.

I'm always curious why people chime in with an answer when it's obvious they have no idea what they're talking about.

For the record, Alaska flight atrndants are paid by the trip in the same way as Sputhwest crews are paid. I think the call it TFP or trips for pay. That's all I know.

The question was about FAs. The answer was correct for most airlines. I know this thread is about Alaska but most majors pay by the hour. Don't be so sensitive.

Is it too early to turn this into a Delta thread?
