ATI AFA flight attendants ratify new contract delivering double-digit wage increase
Washington, DC – Air Transport International (ATI) flight attendants, represented by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA), voted to ratify a new contract September 17.
The four-year agreement provides an immediate, double-digit wage increase for flight attendants, plus a signing bonus, and deadhead improvements for international flights, among other improvements. ATI flight attendants now have the highest hourly rate among similar charter operators.

The contract was ratified with 70% voting for the agreement of 93.1% participating.
