According to the APFA, wages will see a maximum increase of 20.5%, and wages will be retroactively adjusted to compensate for the time spent in negotiations. It’s reported that this has led to a value increase of $4.2 billion when compared with the existing contract. The term of the agreement spans five years and will take effect from October 1. 95% of the eligible flight attendants voted, with 87% voting in favor.
