Service & Solidarity Spotlight: ALPA Members at PSA Airlines Secure Contract Extension

Working people across the United States regularly step up to help out our friends, neighbors and communities during these trying times. In our Service & Solidarity Spotlight series, we’ll showcase one of these stories every day. Here’s today’s story.

Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) members announced on Wednesday that their elected union leaders approved an agreement with PSA Airlines that extends their current contract through 2030 and establishes new pay increases.

The regional airline is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines Group. ALPA represents some 2,260 PSA pilots who won changes to scheduling, work rules and more in this contract extension.

“This contract extension was possible because our pilots spoke up and our union leaders, negotiators, and the company listened,” said Capt. Chris Sabia, Master Executive Council (MEC) chair of the PSA unit of ALPA. “PSA pilots contribute not only to the success of their own airline but also to the success of American Airlines. This extension delivers pay improvements and recognizes those contributions. Pilots at every wholly owned carrier deserve the same: pay that is secured in the contract. No matter the carrier, we stand in solidarity, and PSA pilots join in support of each pilot group as they work toward their goals.”
