Pilots Approve Frontier Contract

The Frontier Airline Pilots Association (FAPA) ratified a long-term labor agreement with the airline, extending certain wage and benefit concessions through December 2011. Nearly 85 percent of votes cast were in favor of ratification. Of the 454 votes cast, 384 voted yes, only 70 voted no. FAPA represents more than 600 pilots at Frontier.
"Our pilots once again have demonstrated their willingness to help Frontier's leadership move our airline toward sustainability and growth," said President and Chief Executive Officer Sean Menke. "This agreement is important because now 100 percent of our workers have made wage and benefit
concessions, a factor that will prove critical in attracting exit financing for our emergence from bankruptcy.”
