United Airlines and the union representing its flight attendants have reached a long-awaited tentative agreement on a new contract for a second time. While the headlines focus on “industry-leading pay,” the details suggest a “balanced” agreement that has not yet been made public.
According to a memo from United sent to flight attendants shared with Live And Let’s Fly, the agreement promises “industry-leading pay and meaningful quality-of-life improvements.”
That’s the headline. But the fine print still isn’t clear and details will not be shared about the new agreement, coded TA2, until union leadership, called the Master Executive Council (MEC), ratifies it. If approved by the MEC, flight attendants will have the opportunity to review the full contract language before voting on ratification.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
