Frontier Airlines Employee Unions Ratify Agreements on Wage Concessions
Posted on: Thursday, 22 May 2008, 09:00 CDT
Frontier Airlines has said that two of its employee unions have ratified agreements for temporary wage and benefit concessions.
The members of the Frontier Airlines Pilots Association (FAPA), which represents more than 700 of the airline's pilots, and the Transportation Workers Union, which represents the airline's dispatchers, each ratified the tentative agreements that union leadership had agreed to with Frontier previously.
Frontier asked all of its employees, both represented and non-represented, to take temporary wage and benefit concessions to help the airline as it attempts to, among other things, secure debtor in possession financing.
Earlier in the month of May 2008, Sean Menke, president and CEO of Frontier, and other members of the executive management team agreed to up to 20% in wage and benefits concessions.
Mr Menke said: "On behalf of everyone at Frontier Airlines, I want to thank both our union leadership and membership for their support during these challenging times. I am pleased that our employees understand the challenges we face and are willing to do their part to make sure we are successful."
