Delta Air Lines Inc. would give its pilots a 30 percent raise over four years under an agreement in principle with the aviators’ union, potentially paving the way for a new contract after a nine-month standoff.
The increase includes an 18 percent gain retroactive to Jan. 1, according to a union memo sent Friday, which was obtained by Bloomberg News. If the labor group’s executive council approves the pact, the measure would go to a vote by the full membership. Delta and the Air Line Pilots Association declined to comment on the terms of the agreement.
