Amerijet Pilots Approve New Agreement in Ratification Vote

Amerijet International pilots have voted to ratify a tentative agreement reached with the airline.

The Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) said that out of the 120 eligible pilots who voted, 80% voted in favour of the new collective bargaining agreement.

“The three-year deal includes pay raises upwards of 45%, as well as improvements to schedules, work rules, and retirement security,” ALPA said.

Tim Millar, chair of the Amerijet ALPA master executive council, added: “I am thrilled that our pilots demonstrated their unity and commitment to attain a collective agreement that reflects the contributions we bring to the success of our airline.

“With the improvements in pay, quality of life, retirement, and insurance, I believe we will enable the company to recruit and retain pilots to sustain our continued growth into new markets.”

The agreement is effective June 26.
