The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers said Monday they have reached a tentative agreement with US Airways covering 40 maintenance training specialists.
The training specialists are the third IAM- represented group to reach contract terms with the Tempe-based carrier. The airline’s 7,100 baggage handlers are currently voting on a tentative agreement while 3,300 mechanics have ratified their agreement, the union said.
The latest agreement would bring US Airways and former America West maintenance training instructors under the same contract and wage scale for the first times since the merger of the two carriers in September 2005, the union said.
A voting schedule for the instructors is being prepared.
