From Yesterday: Tentative Seniority Integration Agreement Reached Between Southwest Airlines and Airtran Airways Flight Attendants

Southwest Airlines LUV announces a tentative Seniority Integration Agreement has been reached between the Company, the Transport Workers Union 556, the union representing Southwest Airlines Flight Attendants, and the Association of Flight Attendants Council 57, the union representing the Flight Attendants of AirTran Airways. This tentative agreement would integrate the two groups' seniority lists. TWU 556's Executive Board and AFA's Master Executive Council both approved the agreement, which will allow the membership of each Union to review the proposed agreement and ultimately put it to a ratification vote. Southwest Airlines finalized closing of the acquisition of AirTran Holdings, Inc., on May 2, 2011.
