In January 2026, ALPA filed a lawsuit at the U.S. District Court in Utah alleging that Breeze Airways engaged in bad-faith bargaining and interfered with pilots’ rights under the Railway Labor Act during ongoing contract negotiations.

This action was taken to address conduct we allege is unlawful and to ensure that the company complies with federal law, so that negotiations can advance toward an enforceable first contract. This was not a snap decision—it followed three years of stalled progress at the bargaining table and was developed with the support of ALPA National, the world’s largest pilot union, with 95 years of experience negotiating contracts and holding management accountable.

Words and promises do not substitute for a contract. Breeze pilots continue to call on management to do their part and take meaningful action to reach an agreement now by ending tactics that slow and frustrate progress and undermine the union.

It’s time to end the stalling and deliver a fair contract that Breeze pilots have earned.
