Breeze pilots request mediation as contract talks stall

Pilots at Breeze Airways have requested a federally appointed mediator due to stalled contract negotiations with the airline’s management. The Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) represents these pilots, who initially voted to unionize in 2022 and began seeking an agreement early in 2023. Negotiations have been ongoing for nearly four years since the pilots' initial unionization vote. This deadlock underscores the challenges faced by low-cost carriers attempting to establish collective bargaining agreements with their workforce. Representatives from both sides remain committed to reaching a resolution, though a formal mediation process has now commenced.
