        Joint Contract Negotiations Session 2 – April 2025

        Originally posted April 18, 2025

        Our AFA Alaska + Hawaiian Joint Negotiating Committee recently held three days of collective bargaining in Seattle, reaching a tentative agreement on Section 20 – Board of Adjustment. Current discussions focus on Uniforms, Reduction in Force, Association-General, and Training sections. Flight Attendants will receive a Commuter Survey via email starting April 21, and we’re counting on everyone’s feedback. Additionally, Hawaiian Flight Attendants have ratified a Contract Extension through February 2028, which includes pay increases and enhanced retirement benefits.

        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.

This update covers changes for both Hawaiian- and Alaska-branded flying, but is specific to aircraft flown by pre-merger Hawaiian Airlines crews. As the work of the merger progresses, we […]
