The agreement is another step toward "strengthening the airline's financial position as we edge ever closer to successful emergence from Chapter 11," ATA Chief Executive John Denison said in a statement.ATA, based in Indiannapolis, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in October of 2004, and is expected to emerge from bankruptcy early next year.
The contract, which covers about 1,000 flight attendants, will become effective Jan. 1.
