AirTran flight attendants approve new contract

By Kelly Yamanouchi

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Flight attendants at AirTran Airways will get pay raises under a new labor contract approved Monday.

The flight attendants voted to approve the new deal as they wait for AirTran’s integration into higher-paying Southwest Airlines to be complete.

Under the new contract, AirTran’s roughly 1,700 flight attendants will get an immediate 3 percent pay increase, followed by another 3 percent pay increase in January 2014.

Southwest, which has higher pay than AirTran, acquired AirTran in 2011.
