MEDIA RELEASE

Hawaiian Airlines and the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) have announced a tentative agreement on a new five-year contract that would provide increased compensation for Hawaiian’s pilots as well as operational improvements for the company.

Mark Dunkerley, Hawaiian’s president and CEO, said, “We are pleased to have reached this agreement with ALPA during such challenging times in our industry. This agreement will provide Hawaiian’s pilots an outstanding pay and benefits package while also addressing some of the operational issues that are important to the company. We believe this agreement recognizes the important contributions of our pilots while allowing Hawaiian to continue to grow and add jobs.”

Eric Sampson, chairman of ALPA’s Master Executive Council at Hawaiian, said, “We believe this is a positive agreement for our membership. We are pleased to have been able to achieve improvements in both pay and retirement for our members and our MEC and Negotiating Committee support the agreement.”

The tentative agreement covers 418 pilots at Hawaiian. The agreement is subject to ratification by union members, who are expected to vote on the proposal in the coming weeks.

Hawaiian has reached similar agreements that have been ratified by its flight attendants and its dispatchers, and recently reached a tentative agreement with its airport customer service personnel.
