Flight attendant boosts 99.6% for Streik – Chaos at Frontier Airlines! – Nachrichten AG

Frontier Airlines is in trouble after flight attendants voted overwhelmingly to strike, with an astonishing 99.6% support among those who participated. The labor dispute has been sparked by the airline’s recent shift to an “out-and-back” operating model, which flight attendants say has severely disrupted their work schedules and income. This discontent was echoed by Jennifer Sala, president of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA-CWA), who highlighted the negative impact on their quality of life and the company’s refusal to negotiate these changes.

In response to the rising tensions, AFA-CWA plans to implement its CHAOS strategy, which involves unpredictable, intermittent strikes. This tactic is designed to disrupt operations while minimizing risk to workers. As management, led by CEO Barry Biffle, continues to demonstrate the savings of the new model, the infighting is intensifying, leaving passengers facing potential disruptions including unexpected flight delays and cancellations. With the union demanding meaningful negotiations, the coming weeks could be crucial for both the airline and its employees as they prepare for a potential stalemate.
