Southwest pilots picket outside company's headquarters

Southwest Airlines has still not reached a deal on a new contract with its pilots union. They are picketing this morning outside the company's headquarters to send a message.

DALLAS - Southwest Airlines flight attendants will vote on a new tentative deal that would give a 20% pay increase in the new year.

The company’s flight attendants have been fighting for a new contract since 2018 with the Dallas-based carrier.

The change would make them the highest-paid flight attendants in the industry.
