Well this news media is a bit late to the party. Guess they were too busy with other news in the world to report the same day it actually came out and then they trough it in with "other" news so basically saving them an additional print of an article, how very UNprofessional!!!

This is where it should have stopped:-
Southwest Airlines LUV and the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA) have reached a tentative agreement for LUV’s Mechanics & Related Employees. The agreement aims to reward employees and maintain the airline's operational efficiency. Adam Carlisle, vice president Labor Relations at Southwest Airlines, expressed satisfaction with the swift negotiations between AMFA and LUV that led to the tentative agreement.
The AMFA negotiating committee, led by national president Bret Oestreich, has also expressed its support for the agreement. If ratified by AMFA members, the agreement will provide industry-leading compensation for Southwest Airlines Aircraft Maintenance Technicians (AMTs). The primary goals of AMFA include safeguarding work, improving standards and increasing recognition for AMTs and related professionals. Oestreich emphasized the importance of members exercising their voting rights to determine the outcome.
The provisional deal covers more than 2,800 mechanics & related Employees at Southwest Airlines, including aircraft maintenance technicians, aircraft inspectors, maintenance controllers and training instructors.
It is important to note that the tentative deal will only become effective if it is approved through the voting process. The outcome of the vote will determine whether the agreement is ratified and implemented. The details of LUV’s current agreement and the voting timeline will be directly communicated to AMFA members by the association.
In view of the staff shortage in the airline industry, the bargaining power of various labor groups has naturally increased, with air travel demand bouncing back strongly from the pandemic lows.
