The July 1st paycheck will be the first paycheck issued under the terms of CBA 2026 and Company matching contributions to 401(k) accounts will be increased effective with that paycheck. All Flight Attendants should review the terms of Section 29.I.1. to determine how this increase will impact their retiree savings accounts.
