who we are

Denver (Sept. 15, 2000) - The dispatchers of Frontier Airlines (Nasdaq: FRNT ) represented by the Transport Workers of America AFL-CIO (TWU), yesterday reached their first tentative agreement with the company on a three-year contract after less than six months of negotiations. The agreement will be sent to Frontier dispatchers with a recommendation for ratification by the Union's leadership. The terms of the agreement were not released pending the ratification vote.

"We are pleased to have reached a tentative agreement with our dispatchers, and applaud the efforts of all who were involved in the negotiating process," said Frontier's Vice President of Human Resources and Flight Services Ann Block. "Our tentative agreement was formed by the use of interest-based bargaining techniques, and sets a solid framework for a contract that we expect will produce positive improvements for the dispatchers while ensuring the continued growth of Frontier."
