December 7, 2010 - After six years in contract negotiations, cockpit crewmembers at Air Transport International (ATI) welcome the opportunity to vote on a tentative agreement in principle which, if ratified by members, will result in a new contract. The tentative agreement is subject to a final review of the language, but the parties expect that to be accomplished by the end of 2010. The agreement represents the first contract for ATI crewmembers since they joined the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA) in 2009. The proposed four-year agreement would include pay increases as well as improved work rules and quality-of-life enhancements for cockpit crewmembers.
