Delta and pilots union resume contract talks

Source: bizjournals

Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE: DAL) has resumed contract talks with its pilots union.

The talks come five months after Delta’s pilot union rejected a three-year contract that contained big pay raises. A major issue with pilots was a change in Delta’s profit-sharing plan. Sixty-five percent of 10,713 pilots who cast a ballot voted against the deal.

Delta first started contact talks with the Air Line Pilots Association union in March. The Delta pilots union said in June it had reached a tentative agreement on the new contract terms with the airlines, six months before the December 2015 amendable date on the current contract.

Talks broke down in July when 65 percent of pilots who cast ballots voted against the deal.
