The Southwest Airlines’ Flight Simulator Technicians, represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT), have voted to ratify a new five-year contract.
Southwest’s 50 Flight Simulator Technicians provide maintenance and engineering support for the equipment at the Company’s Flight Training Center, where all of Southwest’s Pilots receive training. This agreement was reached prior to the current contract’s amendable date and is the third ratified agreement that Southwest Airlines has reached with the IBT for its Flight Simulator Technicians since 2014.
