A second posting of the 2026-2030 United-IBT technician tentative agreement (437 pages, dated 8/28/26 in its filename) adds a Corrections Log stating that the agreement "will be corrected for administrative errors identified after the initial publication; no changes alter the substance of the tentative agreement." Its three entries, all dated 8/24/26: a sentence added to Article 1.B.12 on three heavy-check lines performed in-house by IBT-represented employees; Article 15.L per diem rates updated to the rates in effect as of January 1, 2026; and LOA 5 moved to Historical Records. A page-level comparison against the 8/3/26 posting found the Appendix A pay tables identical. Both postings are archived on this site; proposed terms may appear as explicitly labeled reference material, but no tentative rate becomes current pay without a verified ratification result and a printed effective date.

United technician ratification voting window reported: Aug 28 - Sep 18
vote pending
The Center Square reports the ratification voting period for the 2026-2030 United-IBT technician tentative agreement as August 28 through September 18, 2026. The union's own posted materials have not yet printed the schedule (as of 2026-08-17), so this date is carried here as an attributed report, not on the verified key-dates list. Promotion into current pay requires both a verified ratification result and a printed effective date; the scheduled vote alone is insufficient.

Alaska–Hawaiian joint contract process still at the pre-negotiation stage
negotiations
AMFA reported that the parties met virtually on 2026-08-07, following a 2026-07-29 face-to-face meeting in Seattle, on a Merger Transition Protocol (MTP) Agreement, and that the company’s response “reverted to its prior” position (AMFA’s characterization). AMFA states that MTPs “are a critical step toward commencing the ISL and JCBA negotiation process” — they set the rules, schedules and timelines for seniority integration and joint contract bargaining. No start of Joint Collective Bargaining Agreement (JCBA) or Integrated Seniority List (ISL) negotiations has been announced. Alaska’s 2023-2028 AMFA agreement and Hawaiian’s IAM agreement remain in force, and the verified rates published here continue to govern.

Full 2026-2030 Tentative Agreement text released to United technicians — no vote dates announced
tentative agreement
The Teamsters Airline Division told members in a letter dated 2026-08-03 (posted 2026-08-04): “We are pleased to announce that we have completed our comprehensive language review and have reached a Tentative Agreement (TA) with United Airlines.” The full 2026-2030 TA text was published for member review, with a highlight sheet and road-show schedule promised “in the coming days.” At that announcement, no ratification voting window, vote result, or date of signing was given. Proposed terms are available separately as reference material; this site does not use them as current pay without verified ratification and a printed effective date. United’s published current-agreement rates remain separate.

United and IBT reach agreement in principle for 2026-2030 technician contract — ratification vote pending
vote pending
IBT announced an agreement in principle covering 11,000+ technicians and related: signing bonus pool stated at $54 million, top-of-scale progression shortened from eight years to five. The bargaining committee recommended it 19-12. As of 2026-08-09 no ratification vote result exists. The full tentative agreement is archived on this site. Verified proposed terms are labeled separately from current pay; current-rate publication requires the ratification, printed effective-date and verification gates to pass.

Spirit Airlines ceases operations — AMFA first-contract negotiations end with no ratified agreement
negotiations
Spirit Airlines ceased operations on 2026-05-02. AMFA, certified for the Spirit technician group in 2022, stated: "After 34 years of service to the traveling public, the closure of Spirit Airlines and the loss of more than 14,000 jobs mark a deeply painful moment." The group's first collective bargaining agreement was still in National Mediation Board mediation when the airline shut down — the last session reported by AMFA was its thirteenth, held 2026-03-25/26 (negotiations update #22, 2026-04-07). No first contract was ever ratified, and no pay scale for Spirit technicians was ever published.

Common questions

Answered only from the verified data on this page. Anything this site has not verified, it says so — it never guesses. More questions: corrections@amtindex.com.

Which airline pays aircraft mechanics the most?

By verified top-of-scale base rate today: American Airlines $60.72/hr; Southwest Airlines $60.42/hr; Alaska Airlines $58.75/hr; United Airlines $54.74/hr; Allegiant Air $50.02/hr; Hawaiian Airlines $47.83/hr; Horizon Air $39.31/hr; PSA Airlines $39.00/hr; Envoy Air $37.14/hr. Base rate only — before license premium, shift differential, lead pay and retirement additions, which differ by carrier. Every figure is cited on this page.

How much does an aircraft mechanic make at American Airlines?

Under the current verified contract scale (recorded column 2026-01-01), base pay runs $35.59/hr at entry to $60.72/hr at top of scale — before the license premium, shift differential and other verified additions. Every number with its page citation: amtindex.com/american/. Wage date under review: January 1 is not a confirmed payroll start. See the American wage-date correction; amounts are unchanged.

How much does an aircraft mechanic make at Southwest Airlines?

Under the current verified contract scale (effective 2026-08-16), base pay runs $35.77/hr at entry to $60.42/hr at top of scale — before the license premium, shift differential and other verified additions. Every number with its page citation: amtindex.com/southwest/.

How much does an aircraft mechanic make at Alaska Airlines?

Under the current verified contract scale (effective 2025-10-17), base pay runs $35.56/hr at entry to $58.75/hr at top of scale — before the license premium, shift differential and other verified additions. Every number with its page citation: amtindex.com/alaska/.

How much does an aircraft mechanic make at United Airlines?

Under the current verified contract scale (effective 2025-11-30), base pay runs $29.27/hr at entry to $54.74/hr at top of scale — before the license premium, shift differential and other verified additions. Every number with its page citation: amtindex.com/united/.

How much does an aircraft mechanic make at Allegiant Air?

Under the current verified contract scale (effective 2025-11-01), base pay runs $36.14/hr at entry to $50.02/hr at top of scale — before the license premium, shift differential and other verified additions. Every number with its page citation: amtindex.com/allegiant/.

How much does an aircraft mechanic make at Hawaiian Airlines?

Under the current verified contract scale (effective 2026-02-16), base pay runs $30.02/hr at entry to $47.83/hr at top of scale — before the license premium, shift differential and other verified additions. Every number with its page citation: amtindex.com/hawaiian/.

How much does an aircraft mechanic make at Horizon Air?

Under the current verified contract scale (effective 2026-05-06), base pay runs $27.13/hr at entry to $39.31/hr at top of scale — before the license premium, shift differential and other verified additions. Every number with its page citation: amtindex.com/horizon/.

How much does an aircraft mechanic make at PSA Airlines?

Under the current verified contract scale (effective 2026-09-07), base pay runs $25.53/hr at entry to $39.00/hr at top of scale — before the license premium, shift differential and other verified additions. Every number with its page citation: amtindex.com/psa/.

How much does an aircraft mechanic make at Envoy Air?

Under the current verified contract scale (effective 2026-05-13), base pay runs $26.53/hr at entry to $37.14/hr at Step 9 of the dated scale the agreement also prints a Step 10 top: $38.51 since Nov 2025, $39.67 from Nov 2026 (month-dated) — before the license premium, shift differential and other verified additions. Every number with its page citation: amtindex.com/envoy/.

How long does it take to reach top pay?

It differs sharply by contract: Southwest mechanics top out entering year 6, American and United at year 8, Alaska at Step 8 advancing annually on the anniversary date. United's archived, non-ratified proposal would have shortened its climb to 5 years; that proposal does not change current pay. Every step and rate is in the comparison table with its citation.

What is the A&P license premium worth?

Verified per hour: American $8.50 (both licenses; $4.25 for one), Southwest $8.50 (two licenses; $4.25 one, $12.75 three with conditions), United $8.50 cap ($4.25 per FAA license, FCC $6.00), Allegiant $5.00 (both; $2.50 one), Alaska $4.00 with combined license/skill caps of $8.00-$12.00. Citations are on each figure in the table.

When is the next raise at my airline?

Each carrier page shows its next recorded wage column when one is available, with the source citation and any qualifications. American wage dates are under review: the stored January 1 annual-column dates are not confirmed payroll starts. See the open American wage-date correction before using those dates. The Key dates section separately tracks contract milestones.

Is United's new contract in effect?

No. The United technician proposal was not ratified in the vote concluded on September 18, 2026; the union announcement and certified tally are cited in Contract Watch. The proposed terms remain archived as historical reference. They do not enter current-pay tables or the calculator, and the outcome does not establish a new effective date.

Why isn't Delta in the comparison?

Delta's mechanics are not union-represented, so no collective bargaining agreement exists to cite. Delta publishes its own 'total compensation' comparison material, but that is employer advocacy — modeled numbers, not a ratified pay scale — and this site does not treat it as one. That absence of a contract is itself information.

Where do these numbers come from, and why should I trust them?

Every figure is transcribed from the official, archived text of a ratified agreement (or is labeled otherwise), citation on the number: document, page, section, verification method and date. Two independent machine readers must agree exactly before anything publishes; disagreements never publish. Every source PDF is archived with a cryptographic hash. Errors are corrected and logged publicly, forever — see the Methodology.

I found a number that looks wrong. What do I do?

Email corrections@amtindex.com with the carrier, the figure, and the page of the agreement showing the correct value. Confirmed errors are fixed and logged permanently in the Corrections section — never quietly edited. Catching errors is exactly how this site is supposed to work.

Correct: (a) Article 4.C.2: the premium IS included in PDO and holiday pay accruals; only overtime-rate compounding is excluded. (b) Article 11.J caps at 2.0x excluding shift differentials, EXCEPT per Article 6.D.2, under which holiday day-off overtime pay reaches 2.5x-3.0x for the day.

c-2026-005-united-reset-column

Published: The 1/1/2024 column (top of scale $51.25) shown as the current United Technician base scale, described as the last negotiated step under the extension.
Correct: LOA #29 of the extension ('Industry Reset') triggered a 5.7-6.8% scale increase effective 2025-11-30 (top of scale $54.74), published by the Teamsters Airline Division in updated Appendix A schedules (archived as ua-ibt-reset-2025-dispatch, dual-read 22 AGREE / 0 CONFLICT). The reset rates were published outside the contract document itself, which is why the original transcription missed them. Root cause: the source registry tracked contract documents but not LOA-triggered rate notices; the reset dispatch is now an archived, monitored source.

Published: The link-preview image printed '$58.66 Southwest' and '$51.25 United' as top-of-scale figures from 2026-08-13 until 2026-09-02, while the site itself showed $60.42 (Southwest's 2026-08-16 step) and $54.74 (United, corrected 2026-08-18 in c-2026-005). The image was hand-generated outside the publishing pipeline and no audit scanned it.
Correct: Southwest $60.42 and United $54.74 at top of scale, exactly as the carrier pages state. Fix: the image is now generated from the dataset on every publish, verified before deploy (byte-compare against a fresh render) and after deploy (the live image must match the build). Root cause: a published surface existed that the fact audit did not cover.

Published: Retirement contributions and matching were included in a combined effective hourly estimate without fully capturing employee designation, eligibility, service tiers or differing meanings of match caps. An IAM pension contribution was also labeled as a 401(k) contribution.
Correct: Retirement-inclusive estimates are withdrawn from the public calculator. Cash hourly remains available; the cited retirement terms remain in the comparison. No replacement retirement total is published. The underlying retirement model requires an eligibility and cap-semantics review before these estimates can return.

Published: The conditional additional United employer contribution cited PDF page 174, the beginning of the 401(k) match section.
Correct: The additional contribution clause is on PDF page 175, Article 16 §K.2 closing paragraph. Its separate citation now identifies that page; the match citation remains on page 174. Existing independent readings and their AGREE record support the corrected page. No compensation figure, eligibility statement or formula changed.

c-2026-009-citation-labels-and-pages

Published: Four citations pointed readers to the wrong place while the figures themselves were correct: Alaska's shift differential ($0.65/$1.50) and longevity ($0.05/$1.00 tiers) were labeled 'Article 23' although the cited pages (104-105) print Articles 28 and 29; Allegiant's eight paid holidays cited page 64 (a wage table) instead of the Article 15 Holidays text on page 58; Allegiant's $4.00/hr AOG differential cited the page-31 road-trip source although the value is printed on page 61 (Article 16.A.2.i), which the source note itself acknowledged.
Correct: No published value changed. Alaska: sections relabeled 'Article 28 — Shift Differential' and 'Article 29 — Longevity Allowance'. Allegiant: holidays now cite page 58, 'Article 15 — Holidays'; the AOG differential now cites its own source, page 61, 'Article 16.A.2.i'. The remaining 84 article-labeled citations were checked the same way and match their pages. Root cause: section labels carried forward from a first source while later pages were added; the binding gate verifies values against the dual-read referee, not the human-readable section label.

c-2026-010-proposed-pay-status-wording

Published: The proposed-agreement section and metadata described an ongoing ratification vote, and the dated ballot notice said no result exists yet. These statements could remain on the page after the scheduled tally while outcome verification was incomplete. Some notices also called all tentative terms unpublished although a labeled reference section was visible.
Correct: Proposed terms are explicitly separate from current pay and the calculator. A pending publication record does not establish that voting is still open. Dated notices describe their evidence and require a verified outcome and printed effective date before promotion. No compensation figure, source/page citation, agreement status, calculation or verification standard changed.

c-2026-011-health-plan-display-context

Published: The renderer displayed healthcare contribution amounts without the stored plan labels and topic-level qualifications. American printed 2020 monthly amounts and Allegiant printed 2022 monthly amounts lacked their period and tier labels. Universal share caps, annual-increase ceilings and historical dollar amounts were not clearly distinguished.
Correct: Each amount retains its recorded plan label and source citation, with existing historical-period, eligibility and cost-sharing notes visible. Repeated plan rows retain their coverage-tier labels; universal caps retain their full applicability wording. The printed amounts, source references, verification records and calculator are unchanged. These are source transcriptions, not newly verified current insurance premiums.

c-2026-012-american-wage-date-applicability

Published: American base-scale columns were stored as January 1 of each year, and summaries presented those dates as effective payroll dates without a qualification.
Correct: The exact wage start dates are under review. The executed extension ties the initial wage start to a Monday after its defined effective date; the explanatory all-in chart uses an annual January Monday rule; the consolidated copy uses ratification wording. Independent readers have not cleared replacement dates. The stored annual-column dates are not confirmed payroll start dates. Existing amounts and dates remain unchanged pending authoritative clarification.

c-2026-013-united-static-faq-status

Published: Static FAQ answers described the United proposal vote as pending with no result and described its shorter progression as not yet ratified, while Contract Watch and the carrier page already recorded non-ratification.
Correct: The FAQ must reflect the independently confirmed September 18, 2026 non-ratification already recorded in Contract Watch. The proposed terms remain archived historical reference and do not enter current pay or the calculator. This changes no stored outcome, compensation figure or effective date.
