Frontier pilots say talks are at an impasse, seek arbitration
Frontier Airlines pilots, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association, are petitioning the National Mediation Board (NMB) to release the union from further contract negotiations, saying talks are at an impasse and “further mediation will be futile.” In a letter submitted to the NMB April 27, ALPA detailed the April 17-19 mediation session at which talks broke down. ALPA said the union’s proposal for pay and benefits fell “within the range of recent pilot contract settlements at United, Delta, Southwest, Hawaiian and Spirit Airlines, but at the lower end of that range.” According to ALPA, Frontier’s counter-proposal was “inadequate” and considerably lower than the pilot union’s demands. Frontier and its pilots have been in negotiations for over 2 years and in federal mediation since Nov 2016. <br/>
