United Pilots Ratify New Contract Worth $10 Billion
United Pilots Ratify New Contract Worth $10 Billion
CHICAGO — United Airlines’ pilots have approved a new four-year agreement valued at over $10 billion, as stated by their union.
Previously, the union mentioned that this agreement would lead to a pay increase of up to 40% throughout the four years.
On Friday, the Air Line Pilots Association disclosed that 82% of participating pilots voted in favor of the new terms.
Garth Thompson, the head of the union’s United faction, described it as a pioneering contract that “delivers considerable advantages to our pilots.”
United follows Delta Air Lines and American Airlines in securing new pilot contracts, mitigating tensions with a crucial labor faction, and ensuring the airline can attract critical staff in a tight labor market. Pilots at Southwest Airlines, represented by a different union, and flight attendants at various airlines are still in the negotiation phase.
The union representing the pilots stated that the contract with United encompasses unprecedented raises and enhancements in employment terms, sick leave, holiday duration, and retirement perks. United employs approximately 16,000 pilots.
This contract is set to be in effect until September 30, 2027.
