Cabin Crew

The labor union representing the carrier’s flight attendants is pushing for progress in contract negotiations.

The carrier currently relies on partners such as Republic and SkyWest.

The proposed contract would give flight attendants their first raises in close to six years.

The deal secures pay increases and other benefits, according to the AFA.

The AFA-CWA said members are being brought back to help resolve “operational issues.”

Investigators say a crew member was injured after the 737 returned to Houston following reports of a burning odor.

The ultra-low-cost carrier said the move is intended to bring staffing levels in line with its fleet size and anticipated flying schedule.

Air Canada said it will begin canceling flights as its flight attendants prepare to strike, raising the possibility of a full shutdown by the weekend.

Delta is gearing up to open a new crew base later this year. The Atlanta-based carrier announced plans for an additional flight attendant domicile this week.

A flight attendant has filed a federal lawsuit against Delta and its subsidiary, Endeavor Air, alleging gross negligence and violations of aviation law.
