Not much of a surprise here, as today — the day Northwest would have been given the right to impose terms on the flight attendant union — both sides announced that a tentative agreement has been reached.
Apparently both sides negotiated all night, with a deal being hammered out this morning.
There are no details out yet about the deal, except that it does provide for a quick vote by the flight attendant membership.
Don’t forget the simulator engineers still don’t have a T/A and they too must have a deal before all the other labor concessions become effective, a fact not mentioned much in the media.
So Ron, what is the status of negotiations between the airline and the simulator engineers?
