Washington, D.C. (May 15, 2019) - The flight attendants at Frontier Airlines, represented by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA), today ratified a new five-year contract covering over 2,200 flight attendants, with 94 percent voting to ratify the agreement. The agreement was reached on March 19, 2019, with assistance from the National Mediation Board. Frontier flight attendants will immediately receive an average 24 percent wage increase.

“Frontier flight attendants fought hard for this contract and today overwhelmingly voted to ratify it,” said Jennifer Sala, AFA Frontier President. “This contract provides immediate economic gains, locks in important work rules and protections for flight attendants. This shows the power of our Flight Attendant group when we stand together and fight for the contract we deserve”

Beyond significant pay increases, the agreement includes better pay protections, schedule flexibility and protections, improvements for reserves, better vacation, quality of work life enhancements and many other benefits.
