text: 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 the​ir 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.” ||||| The New York Jets cheerleaders have closed the book on their pay fight with the team. 
   
   A New Jersey court approved a $325,000 settlement between the cheerleaders and the Jets on Wednesday. The settlement of the class action lawsuit brought by former cheerleader, Krystal C, was initially reached in August 2015. 
   
   Each of the 52 cheerleaders will receive $2,500 for each season they worked in the two-year period covered by the suit. 
   
   The final amount will include interest and will depend on how many football seasons they worked. If a cheerleader participated in photo shoots, she could receive up to $400 per shoot. 
   
   In Krystal's 2014 suit against the Jets, she claimed the cheerleaders made only $150 per game and $100 for special event appearances. She also said cheerleaders didn't receive compensation for weekly practices or time spent rehearsing.

   The cheerleader's attorney, Patricia Pierce, used the rates for games and special events to argue that the actual hourly pay was well below the minimum wage. 
   
   "When you look at the actual hours worked versus what Krystal was paid, she only made $3.77 per hour," Pierce said. "When you factor in the required hair, makeup and transportation expenses, the hourly rate goes below $1.50 an hour." 
   
   The Jets cheerleaders, called the Flight Crew, aren't the first to bring a wage suit against an NFL team. 
   
   The teams have tried to justify the low pay by labeling cheerleaders as independent contractors and not employees. However, the courts haven't agreed with that distinction. 
   
   The Cincinnati Bengals, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Oakland Raiders and Buffalo Bills have also been sued. 
   
   The Buccaneers reached a settlement of $825,000, and the Bengals have reached a tentative pact with their cheerleaders. 
   
   The Raiders also settled -- for $1.25 million in September 2014. The Raiderettes claimed they'd been paid less than $5 an hour. 
   
   The cheerleaders for the Buffalo Bills, the Jills, were recently given authorization to bring a class action lawsuit against the team.
target: – A New Jersey court on Wednesday gave the Flight Crew—aka the New York Jets cheerleaders—something to cheer about: a $325,000 settlement of the class-action lawsuit filed in 2014 by a cheerleader identified as Krystal C., CNNMoney reports. That amounts to each of the 52 cheerleaders getting $2,500 per season worked and $400 per photo shoot. The settlement covers the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons. New York State Sen. Diane Savino, per the New York Post, cheered the settlement, calling on the NFL to "develop uniform rules … to ensure that all cheerleaders in every state received the employee pay and protections they deserve." NFL teams have sought to justify low pay for cheerleaders by saying they're independent contractors, CNN notes. In the case of the Flight Crew, Krystal C.'s suit claimed that cheerleaders were compensated $150 per game and $100 for special appearances. But, when you factor in practices and rehearsals, that pans out to $3.77 per hour. Throw in hair, makeup, and transportation expenses and "the hourly rate goes below $1.50 an hour," says the cheerleaders' attorney. The Flight Crew isn't alone: Cheerleaders have taken to the courts to seek higher pay from the Cincinnati Bengals (tentative agreement reached), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (settled for $825,000), Oakland Raiders (settled for $1.25 million), and the Buffalo Bills (class-action suit on the horizon).
