Today, ALPA released the result of that vote. As expected, pilots approved the measure. Here’s what you need to know: Alaska Airlines pilots are not on strike. As ALPA said this morning, a strike can only occur after a specific, multi-step process involving the federal government and National Mediation Board. Our guests and operation are not impacted by this vote. We remain committed to reaching a deal to provide an updated contract that is good for Alaska’s pilots.
