As reported by our partner media in Brazil, Aeroin, the voting took place online, starting on 24 December, at 6am, and closed this Sunday, 25 December, at 12 midnight.

There were 70.11% in favour of the proposal and 28.80% against, plus 1.09% abstentions. In total, 5,834 crew members took part.

The TST proposal foresees the readjustment by the inflation of the last 12 months, plus a 1% real gain, i.e. 6.97% on the fixed and variable part of the salary; and food vouchers.

In addition, it provides for the full renewal of the other social clauses, the definition of timetables for days off and the possibility of starting holidays on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays.
