Alaska Airlines pilots vote to authorize strike

The union representing Alaska Airlines pilots approved a “strike-authorization” measure on Tuesday.

This does not mean the pilots are on strike, and guests and operations are not affected at this time.

According to Alaska Airlines, a strike can only proceed after a specific, multi-step process involving the federal government and the National Mediation Board.

Alaska Airlines hopes to reach a deal on an updated contract that works for their pilots.
