New Contract Delivers Major Economic Gains for Mechanics

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Teamsters mechanics at Frontier Airlines have voted by 93 percent to ratify a new five-year collective bargaining agreement that delivers significant improvements in wages, retirement security, and other benefits.

The contract provides substantial wage increases over the life of the contract, enhanced employer pension contributions, and seniority-based ratification bonuses for the group of nearly 500 Teamsters mechanics. The agreement also increases license premiums and adds a week of vacation time at 15 years of service.

“Teamsters at Frontier perform highly skilled, essential work that keeps this airline running every day,” said Dave Saucedo, Director of the Teamsters Airline Division. “This agreement recognizes the value they bring to the job and delivers meaningful gains that will improve the lives of these workers and their families for years to come.”

Mechanics at Frontier are represented by Teamsters Locals 19, 104, 455, 769, and 986.

“Our members made clear throughout this process what they wanted to see in a new contract, and we stayed focused on securing those priorities at the bargaining table,” said Don Ramsey, lead negotiator and business agent for Teamsters Local 455. “This agreement delivers real improvements in wages and benefits while rewarding the years of service our members have given and will give to Frontier. We’re proud to have secured a strong contract that recognizes their hard work and dedication.”
