Dispatchers Will Now Vote On Agreement
Frontier Airlines announced this week it has reached a tentative
agreement with one of its unions for long-term wage and benefit
concessions.
Leaders of the Transportation Workers Union (TWU), which
represents the airline's dispatchers, agreed to wage and benefit
concessions through September 2012. The agreement will be presented
for ratification by the union membership and for approval by the
court overseeing Frontier's Chapter 11 case.
"I applaud the TWU leadership for recognizing the necessity of
these concessions and working cooperatively with us," said Frontier
President and CEO Sean Menke. "This is another very important step
in our Chapter 11 reorganization process, helping us to meet the
cost targets required by our business plan."
"The TWU appreciates the joint effort made in achieving this
restructuring agreement," said TWU Local 540 President David
Durkin. "We hope that this will be the first step in achieving
agreements with the other groups which will allow Frontier to exit
bankruptcy as quickly as possible."
Frontier continues to negotiate to obtain long-term concessions
from its other two unions: the Frontier Airline Pilots Association,
which represents Frontier's pilots, and the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters, which represents Frontier's mechanics,
tool room employees, aircraft appearance agents and material
specialists.
Frontier filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in April
2008.
