This contract would also continue to solidify boarding pay as a new standard for compensation going forward. If ratified, the improved pay scales and boarding pay would go into effect on May 31st. The tentative agreement will go to AFA-CWA Members for a vote starting on April 23rd, with voting concluding on May 12th.
