Southwest Airlines Pilots Secure 50% Pay Raise in New Contract

Southwest Airlines has reached a tentative deal with its pilots union on a new five-year labor contract that includes a 50% wage increase over the next few years and improved retirement benefits. The deal, worth $12 billion, is now up for a vote by the union's more than 11,000 members.

Southwest Airlines and Pilots' Union Reach Preliminary Labor Deal

Southwest Airlines and its pilots' union are nearing a preliminary labor deal that would increase pay for over 11,000 pilots and resolve months of contentious negotiations.

American Airlines Increases Offer to Pilots Union Amidst Growing Travel Troubles in Air Industry

American Airlines has increased the value of its contract offer to its pilots by over $1 billion in an effort to match a deal made by rival United Airlines. The improved offer includes higher pay rates, retroactive pay, extended sick leave, increased life insurance, and other benefits. The Allied Pilots Association, representing American Airlines pilots, had warned that the ratification of the previous contract offer was in jeopardy after United Airlines reached a deal with its pilots union. Pilots will vote on the revised contract offer, with voting set to begin on July 24 and close on August 7. The negotiations come amid a travel season marked by weather-related disruptions and a shortage of pilots and air traffic controllers.

Airline Pilots' Unions Consider Strike Authorization Vote

United Airlines pilots union has voted unanimously to authorize a strike vote as negotiations for better pay and working conditions have moved slowly. The strike vote comes weeks after United Airlines pilots picketed major airports across the nation, demanding pay increases. Unions representing Southwest Airlines and American Airlines pilots have each authorized a strike this summer, demanding better conditions from their respective management. The pilots are looking to match or beat the deal that Delta Air Lines reached with its pilots earlier this year, which raised pay rates by 34% over four years.
