Southwest Airlines and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 19, which represents the airline’s Flight Simulator Technicians, have reached a Tentative Agreement for a new collective bargaining agreement. “Our Flight Simulator Technicians help keep our flight training facility operating nearly 24 hours a day and play a pivotal role in Southwest’s mission to support a safe and reliable operation,” said Adam Carlisle, Vice President Labor Relations at Southwest Airlines. “I am pleased they will have the opportunity to vote on a new contract.” Southwest has more than 50 Flight Simulator Technicians who provide maintenance and engineering support for the company’s flight training equipment. Since October 2022, 11 of Southwest’s 12 union-represented workgroups have ratified new agreements.
