Protest started Friday at Anchorage and four West Coast cities as pilots seek a new contract.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Alaska Airlines canceled more flights Sunday, the third straight day of a protest by pilots.
It all amounts to over 15,800 passengers without a flight between Sunday and Monday, according to the airline. An average of about 7% of Alaska Airlines flights have been canceled each day since Friday. “We’ve been bargaining for three years and it’s time for Alaska Airlines to get serious about completing a contract for the Alaska Airlines’ pilots,” said Capt. Jeff Schroeder, Chairman of the Airline Pilots Association Anchorage Council.An Alaska Airlines captain, according to a news release from the airline, averages about $341,000 a year, but pilots say it’s not just about money — they also want work rule changes, job security and scheduling flexibility.
The airline said it’s ready to increase job security for pilots. Any aircraft operated by Alaska Air Group over 76 seats will be flown by a senior pilot. Plus, it’s also open to flexibility with pilots’ schedules.
