The Flight Crew is cheering a win against their own team.
The Jets cheerleaders scored a $325,000 settlement from Gang Green on Wednesday in a New Jersey court.
The deal will give each of the 52 pompom pushers $2,500 per season they’ve worked. Squad members featured in photo shoots are also eligible for an additional $400 payment per shoot.
The deal covers the 2012-13 and 2013-14 NFL seasons.
The class-action suit, filed in 2014 by a cheerleader identified only as Krystal C., claimed the women made only $150 per game and nothing for practice time.
In a joint statement about the deal, the Jets said they “deny the claims and the parties have agreed to a settlement to avoid the expense, time and distraction of litigation.”
Both parties declined further comment.
State Sen. Diane Savino (D-SI) applauded the settlement and called for “the Buffalo Bills to do the same, to ensure that their cheerleaders are not left out in the cold when it comes to fair pay and treatment.”
Bills cheerleaders were recently granted class-action status in a similar wage suit against their team.
In that Erie County lawsuit, the Buffalo Jills say they had to live by a strict code of conduct that dictated their appearance, eating habits — and even how they used feminine products.
Savino also called on the NFL “to step forward as a leader and develop uniform rules for their teams to ensure that all cheerleaders in every state received the employee pay and protections they deserve.”
