Amendable Status

Air Wisconsin’s Flight Attendant agreement became amendable in 2022. Under the Railway Labor Act, this places the parties in a successor-agreement bargaining posture while the existing contract remains in effect absent a ratified replacement.

Historical Negotiation Context

CWA-AFA has represented Air Wisconsin Flight Attendants through multiple operational eras, including long-standing regional feeder flying arrangements. Public records reflect that a tentative agreement summary circulated in August 2020, prior to the current amendable period.

Recent Public Activity & Union Updates

Publicly available, Air Wisconsin-specific bargaining detail since the contract became amendable has been limited. In August 2022, the AFA Negotiating Committee presented a formal contract opener to management outlining member priorities and bargaining scope.

In 2025, Air Wisconsin announced significant operational changes, including the end of scheduled flying under its American Airlines capacity-purchase agreement and a pivot toward charter and Essential Air Service operations. Union communications emphasized workforce uncertainty during this transition, a factor that may influence bargaining dynamics.

What Is Not Publicly Documented

• A publicly announced Tentative Agreement (TA) since the 2022 amendable date;
• A ratification vote timeline or outcome for a successor agreement;
• A clearly documented public record of formal NMB mediation status specific to Air Wisconsin.

CrewSignal maintains internal monitoring of negotiations progress, but publishes public updates only when changes are externally verifiable and materially alter bargaining posture or timeline.

Summary

• Contract amendable since 2022.
• A formal contract opener was presented in 2022, establishing the current bargaining framework.
• No publicly documented TA or ratification outcome has been announced as of early 2026.
• Operational restructuring in 2025 may have affected leverage and timing.
