Some Alaska Airlines pilots set for 23% pay rise under new contract

Pilots at Alaska Airlines, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), have approved a new three-year contract with the company, including pay rises of up to 23%.

Alaska Airlines announced on October 17, 2022, that the new contract includes significant improvements including increased pay, greater flexibility, better benefits and stronger job security.

The new deal comes amidst a shortage of pilots in North America, with many airlines in talks for bumper pay rises to keep staff.
