United reaches tentative flight attendant deal — big pay gains, profit‑sharing lags, regional‑ownership concession
United's tentative 425‑page flight attendant agreement raises base pay roughly 30%, boosts boarding pay about 50%, improves 401(k) matching and layover hotel protections, and puts senior crew on track to earn over $100/hour by 2030. The contract, however, leaves profit‑sharing below peers, limits retro pay, and removes a restriction on United owning a regional carrier.
