Alaska Air Group subsidiary Horizon Air has reached a tentative agreement with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters—which represents the airlines’ 280 aircraft technicians, fleet service agents and other fleet support positions—on a tentative agreement on a proposed five-year contract extension.
American Airlines and US Airways have each agreed to extend the outside date at which either party may terminate the previously announced agreement and plan of merger, in light of the trial schedule surrounding litigation with US Department of Justice.
