SOUTHERN AIR pilots have ratified an agreement for interim enhancements to the collective bargaining agreement covering pilots, but union seeks further changes
SOUTHERN AIR pilots have ratified an agreement for interim enhancements to the collective bargaining agreement covering pilots, but union seeks further changes. 'The company still has a long way to go until it will be able to end the rapid turnover and have the capability to attract the new hire pilots we need to meet growing customer demands,' said Teamsters local boss Bryan Holmberg.
Said Atlas Air president John Dietrich: 'We are pleased to enter into this agreement to benefit our Southern Air pilots. We look forward to continuing our collaborative and productive discussion as we proceed toward the merger of Atlas Air and Southern Air.'
The interim agreement increases pay rates for Southern Air pilots to the same wage scales as provided to pilots of sister airline Atlas Air, reports London's Air Cargo News.
It also provides for a ratification bonus and other terms and conditions that are comparable to those provided to their colleagues at Atlas Air.
