Pilots union negotiators at Delta Air Lines have finalized language for a tentative labor agreement, a key step toward a new contract that would give pilots an initial 18% pay increase.
The tentative agreement now goes to leadership of the Air Line Pilots Association at Delta, which will spend at least a week considering the deal before it can be sent to rank-and-file pilots for a vote.
The negotiators this week finalized language in a deal reached last month for pay raises of at least 18% when the contract is signed, followed by 5% after the first year, 4% after the second year and another 4% after the third year.
