Mesa AFA Flight Attendants Ratify Contract
October 17, 2025 - Mesa AFA Flight Attendants ratified a new contract by 94% voting in favor of wage increases and additional improvements. The ratified contract is just the first step in more improvements AFA Mesa Flight Attendants will next negotiate alongside their Teamster Local 135 counterparts at Republic.
“This vote is about more than pay,” said Shannon Harris, Mesa AFA President. “It's about respect, fairness, and equity at the soon-to-be merged airline. “This contract provides Mesa Flight Attendants with certainty and guaranteed economic and work rule improvements as we work towards our joint contract.”
The two-year agreement covering over 550 Mesa Flight Attendants provides pay increases, increased per diem, additional holidays, removes the no-strike clause, and includes other quality-of-life improvements. The agreement was reached with the assistance of NMB federal mediator Mike Donatelli prior to the federal government shutdown.
