Pilots’ Union Leaders Support New Contract
The leaders of the pilots’ union at Delta Air Lines Inc. have ratified the tentative agreement on concessions between the union and management and agreed to send it to members for a vote.
The vote by the leadership was 12 to 1 in favor of ratification, according to a memo sent late Friday to pilots, who will be asked to approve it.
The agreement was reached between the nation’s third-largest carrier and union negotiators April 14, clearing a hurdle for Atlanta-based Delta by forestalling a strike by its 5,930 pilots.
