Delta, Pilots Reach Tentative Staffing Deal
From Associated Press
Delta Air Lines Inc.’s pilot union agreed to allow the struggling carrier to bring pilots out of retirement on a limited basis to deal with staff shortages that threaten to ground flights.
The move came after the company agreed not to terminate the pilots’ pension plan before February even if it files for bankruptcy protection.
The tentative agreement must be ratified by the 7,500 active Delta pilots.
