ALPA Sues Pinnacle

When Pinnacle Airlines unilaterally implemented pilot bonus programs by changing pay and working conditions for pilots, it violated the Railway Labor Act, according to the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), which said the airline should have first bargained and reached agreement with the pilot’s union. As a result ALPA, which represents the pilots, filed suit in U.S. District Court against Pinnacle.
