Hawaiian Airlines Flight Attendants Ratify Contract Extension

Originally posted April 17, 2025

Hawaiian Airlines Flight Attendants voted today to ratify a Tentative Agreement for a Section 6 Contract Extension, with 88% of voters in favor of the agreement. ✈️🗳️

Key provisions of the Tentative Agreement include:

💰 **Compensation Raises**: Hawaiian Flight Attendants will receive retroactive pay increases starting April 1, 2025, with the first payout reflected in the paycheck issued on May 7.

📈 **PBP and OPR Participation**: Beginning with the 2025 performance year, Hawaiian Flight Attendants will be included in Alaska Air Group’s Performance-Based Pay Plan (PBP) and Operational Performance Reward Program (OPR), with payouts scheduled for 2026.

With the ratification of this tentative agreement, Section 6 negotiations for the pre-merger Hawaiian collective bargaining agreement are concluded. Our focus now shifts to joint negotiations for a combined contract covering both Hawaiian and Alaska Flight Attendants. The second negotiation session for our joint contract negotiations is wrapping up today.
