01:44 PM EDT, 03/26/2026 (MT Newswires) -- United Airlines (UAL) reached a tentative agreement with the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA that will provide competitive wages, improved scheduling and other enhancements for 30,000 flight attendants, the company said.

The agreement includes immediate raises upon ratification and top wage rates that reach $100 per hour by the end of the contract, the highest in the industry, the airline said Thursday in a statement.

The package also includes boarding pay, new pay for long gaps between flights and a signing bonus for each flight attendant worth a total of $740 million, the airline said.

The tentative agreement needs approval by the association's Master Executive Council before being sent to flight attendants for a vote. If ratified, the new contract would become amendable after five years, the airline said.
