After months of intense deliberations, Sun Country Airlines and the union representing its 250 pilots have reached a tentative contract agreement, sources said Saturday.

Terms of the potential accord were not immediately available and approval of any contract would require ratification by members of the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA). Economic issues, including pay, are at the heart of the dispute.

The tentative agreement was described as “comprehensive.”

The pact was reached Friday night in Washington, where members of ALPA and the airline’s management and owners met with a federal mediator.

When contacted in Washington on Saturday, Sun Country Chairman Marty Davis said he had no comment.
