Pinnacle Airlines has filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court against the Air Line Pilots Association International (ALPA) citing bad-faith bargaining in contract talks that began in 2005.
“We regret having to file this lawsuit, but the union left us with no choice. On more than one occasion, we agreed to terms that the union said would result in an agreement, and then they moved the goalposts and made additional demands,” said Clive Seal, Vice President and General Manager of Pinnacle Airlines Inc. “We need them to come to the table and deal fairly in a genuine effort to get a fair contract for our Pilots and their families.”
