Delta Air Lines Inc. reached a tentative agreement on a new contract with its pilots union seven months before the existing accord comes up for amendment, in an industry where negotiations often drag on for years.

Leaders of the Air Line Pilots Association’s Delta chapter and its panel that negotiated the contract are meeting in Atlanta today to discuss the terms, Tim O’Malley, chairman of the union’s executive committee, told members in a letter today.
