Tentative Agreement for a One-Year Contract Extension
Master Executive Council
Earlier this week, AFA and Alaska Airlines management reached an agreement in concept on a one-year extension to the contract. Your Local Executive Council (LEC) presidents, who are the directly elected representatives and voting members of the Master Executive Council (MEC), subsequently reviewed the agreement in concept and unanimously approved it to be released as a tentative agreement (TA) for membership ratification. Although there are encouraging signs of developing economic recovery within the airline industry, the MEC and management recognize that entering into negotiations during the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic would potentially—if not likely—be unproductive for AFA and for the Company. The MEC strongly believes this proposed contract extension is worthy of your consideration.
