United reaches agreement in principle with union to extend pilot contracts
UNITED Airline has reached an agreement in principle with the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) for a contract extension covering the airline's 12,000 pilots.
The agreement is subject to a ratification process which includes final documentation and review by the ALPA master executive council.
The agreement was signed more than a year ahead of the amendable date of the current contract, a statement from the carrier said.
"The fact that we were able to reach this agreement in principle in fewer than 30 days is a direct result of the positive, collaborative relationship between ALPA leadership and United," said executive vice president Human Resources and Labour Relations, Mike Bonds.
"We appreciate the hard work of the company and union negotiating teams in helping us reach an agreement in principle that will benefit pilots and United."
The airline is also engaged in mediated negotiations with the Association of Flight Attendants and recently announced an agreement with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters to put a proposed joint collective bargaining agreement out for ratification by the company's technicians and related employees.
