JetBlue pilots ratify 4-year labour contract
JetBlue pilots, represented by ALPA, have ratified a 4-year contract, the airline confirmed. Of the 98% of pilots who voted, 74% were in favour of the agreement, JetBlue said. The contractual terms—which include market competitive pay rates, per diems and 401(k) provisions—will be effective Aug 1. Negotiations over the collective bargaining agreement have been under way since March 2015. In July 2017, JetBlue’s pilots filed for mediation with the National Mediation Board. ALPA president Tim Canoll said the contract “provides significant pay increases, improvements to retirement, and enhanced working conditions, and serves as an example of ALPA’s determined efforts to advance our members’ careers and the piloting profession.” <br/>
