Preamble
Preamble
Alaska has earned a decades-long reputation for providing distinctive, quality service. In
order to continue to outpace the competition in this rapidly changing industry we must
strive every day to provide a safe and reliable operation as well as a great experience
for our passengers. We recognize that pilots are natural leaders within our operation,
and having them enthusiastically engaged is critical to our future success.
ALPA and Alaska management recognize that an effective partnership, based on mutual
respect and trust, will improve the long term profitability and competiveness of Alaska
Airlines and is beneficial to the pilot group. In order to take full advantage of all
opportunities, labor and management must embrace collaboration as the means to build
an innovative and effective team-- a team fully focused on the future.
Alaska’s pilots should be well compensated and enjoy a high standard of living and job
security. In order to make our career a continued success in this intensely competitive
industry, we all must be committed to constantly making our business stronger and
more successful.
Our mission is to be universally recognized as a high performance company with a high
performance culture. Leadership, employee relations, work rules and incentives should
reflect this objective, and it will take the dedicated and unified efforts of leaders for both
the Company and ALPA to make this goal a reality.
Neither party, through these principles, relinquishes any rights protected by the law or
the Agreement.
