Delta pilots union leaders approve proposed labor deal

Source: AJC

The leadership of the pilots union at Delta Air Lines on Wednesday approved a tentative labor agreement and will pass it onto rank-and-file pilots for a vote.

In the deal passed with an 11-8 vote by the master executive council of the Air Line Pilots Association at Delta, pilots would get immediate pay raises of 8 percent, followed by another 6 percent hike Jan. 1.

That would amount to a compounded pay increase of nearly 14.5 percent as of 2016, according to a summary sent to pilots by their union.

Those pay increases would be followed by 3 percent raises in 2017 and 2018.

a peanuts pay raise, compounded with huge work load increases (airline is adding up to 30 additional seats per aircraft and increased services to the extended leg room section of coach).

Glad the 6 figure crowd is getting more.
