American Airlines flight attendants won an additional $4.2 billion in pay and benefits, according to a tentative deal released Friday by the union representing the workers.
The deal includes an immediate 18% pay increase and boarding pay. Some flight attendants, such as those who have been working for seven years, could see pay-scale increases of 120% over five years, according to a chart from the union, the Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA), which hailed the contract’s “leading industry rates” in a letter to members.
