Spirit Airlines pilots have ratified a two-year contract with management that will produce $463 million in economic gains including an average 34% pay hike, the Air Line Pilots Association said Tuesday.
The agreement affects 2,326 pilots, according to the union, which said that 69% of the Spirit members voted in favor of the pact that is retroactive to Jan. 1. The two sides said they reached a tentative contract last month.
Spirit, which is based in Miramar and maintains the largest airline presence at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, did not immediately issue a comment.
