Last Friday, United Airlines and its flight attendants, who are represented by the Association of Flight Attendants, announced that they had reached an agreement over a contract for the 25,000 flight attendants employed by the airline. This is the employees' first contract since United and Continental merged back in 2010. Union leaders unanimously approved the contract, and it will now be sent to the flight attendants for approval. The contract includes a healthcare plan specific to flight attendants as well as a new pay scale. If this contract is ratified, the flight attendants will all operate under the same contract for the first time.
