Frontier Airlines Flight Attendants Prepare for a Strike Vote
Earlier this year, Frontier Airlines issued a new business model affecting where Flight Attendants can live, their commute, and dramatically impacting their pay. Known as “out and back,” the business model “has resulted in a massive hit to our compensation and time away from our homes,” said Jennifer Sala, AFA-CWA Frontier President.
In response, the 4,000 AFA-CWA-represented Flight Attendants at Frontier Airlines will engage in a strike vote starting August 20. Frontier Airlines has an obligation to negotiate over the impact of the business model change.
“This strike vote will show just how serious this issue is and the action Flight Attendants are willing to take to get it fixed,” said AFA-CWA International President Sara Nelson. “The change in time on the job and compensation is staggering. We will not pay for this business model change. The longer this goes on, the more Frontier will have to pay to make it right.”
