Profiting by Foresight
Alaska Airlines pilots—by dint of a no-one-left-behind clause added in autumn 2022 to their contract with the Seattle-based air-carrier—will receive an 11.2-percent pay bump by which their wages will remain commensurate with those of pilots in the employs of competing airlines. In the absence of the aforementioned clause, Alaska Airlines pilots would have received only the four-percent pay-raise specified in the contract’s original language.
