The airline said contract negotiations resume this week.

Alaska Airlines flight attendants and others picketed outside Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport on August 15, 2023. The flight attendants, represented by Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, are in the process of contract negotiations.

First-year flight attendants at the airline make an average base pay of less than $24,000 annually, said LeiLauni Scheideman, president of the Anchorage local Alaska Association of Flight Attendants. They also receive other pay benefits such as per diems, she said.Over the last year, the airline’s flight attendants have been trying to negotiate a new contract for the first time since 2014, Scheideman said.

The airline said that in June it made an offer that included “industry-leading top of scale wages,” according to an email from Tim Thompson, a spokesperson with Alaska Airlines. “But unfortunately, AFA’s counter proposal included cost increases throughout the agreement that just weren’t economically feasible, and we were unable to reach an agreement.”Scheideman said the flight attendant’s union wants an increase of more than 40% to wages and benefits, but management has offered 9%.
