A strike would only happen if negotiations break down and the federal government authorizes a walkout.

May 08, 2022 at 10:43 pm PDT

“This means union leaders are officially requesting the Alaska Airlines pilot group, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association International, give them the authority to go on strike when they are legally permitted to do so,” a news release from ALPA said. Once passed by the pilots, the vote will authorize the pilot leadership to declare a strike when the group is given permission to do so by the National Mediation Board.

This strike-authorization vote comes during a pilot shortage that has caused hundreds of flight cancellations for the airline.
