Southwest Airlines says its pilots have ratified a new collective bargaining agreement. According to the Southwest Airlines Pilots' Association (SWAPA), 84.26% of pilots who cast ballots voted in favour of the deal. "This contract recognises and rewards our pilots for their professionalism and leadership," says Alan Kasher, Vice President of Flight Operations. "Beyond the compensation and work rule improvements, this forward-looking agreement delivers the operational flexibility needed to grow our network and ensures that Southwest will remain well-positioned for long-term success in our intensely-competitive industry."
