Midwest Airlines and Its Pilots Agree on Wage Concessions

Midwest Airlines, Inc. announced yesterday afternoon that it has reached tentative agreement on wage concessions with the Air Line Pilots Association, which represents the airline's pilots. The agreement provides for significant reductions in pilots' hourly pay rates through November 1. Pending approval by the union's national office, the concessions become effective April 16.

The concessions are part of a companywide strategic plan to reduce costs by $4 million monthly.

Thomas C. Irwin, vice president of Flight Operations for Midwest, said the pilot group has demonstrated leadership in efforts to ensure the airline's survival. "Our commitment to our customers and the communities we serve is underscored by this agreement. All of us, regardless of our titles or jobs, care about this airline and are dedicated to its long-term success."

"We remain committed to helping enhance the future viability of Midwest Airlines," said Captain Jerome G. Schnedorf, chairman of the union's local Master Executive Council. "We will be working with management over the next several weeks to discuss issues regarding staffing, scheduling and productivity that will further contribute to achieving our mutual goals."

Midwest Airlines features nonstop jet service to major destinations throughout the United States. Skyway Airlines, Inc. -- its wholly owned subsidiary -- operates Midwest Connect, which offers connections to Midwest Airlines as well as point-to-point service between select markets on regional jet and turboprop aircraft. Together, the airlines offer service to 51 cities.
