Frontier Airlines and its flight attendants agree on terms for collective bargaining agreement

Frontier Airlines (2nd) (Denver) has announced that the Company and the Association of Flight Attendants – CWA (AFA-CWA) have agreed on the terms to be incorporated into a collective bargaining agreement between the Company and its nearly 1,000 flight attendants.

The collective bargaining agreement will incorporate many existing Flight Attendant work rules together with several additional provisions covering such issues as scope, seniority and grievance procedures. Once the full document is completed, the agreement will be submitted to Frontier Flight Attendants for approval.

In addition, the Company and AFA-CWA worked together to craft the Flight Attendant group’s contributions to the broad-scale cost-cutting restructuring. The provisions applicable to the Flight Attendants will save the Company approximately $16 million in labor costs over a four-year period. In return for these contributions, which include adjustments to vacation and sick accruals, other pay-related changes and a suspension of the 401(K) match through 2015, the Company’s Flight Attendants will receive equity in Frontier and will be eligible to participate in the Company’s profit sharing program.
