Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On March 24, 2017, the Company announced the ratification of a 63-month contract amendment with its Pilots as represented by the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA). The ratification is expected to result in a one-time cash payment of approximately $55 - $60 million in the first quarter related to a ratification bonus and other benefits that will result in a financial charge up to $30 million in the first quarter, which is in addition to the $34 million special charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2016 relating to the anticipated agreement.
In the second half of the year, the Company will also make a one-time cash payment of $100 - $110 million to settle a portion of its outstanding other post-retirement plan obligation with its Pilots.
The ratification is also expected to result in an ongoing net increase to wages and benefits expense beginning on April 1, 2017, which for the remainder of 2017 is expected to be approximately $25 - $30 million.
