CHICAGO (Reuters) – Negotiators for pilots at Southwest Airlines have reached an agreement in principal with the company for a new contract, the union said on Tuesday, adding that the union’s board still needs to decide whether to send the deal to members for a ratification vote.
The Southwest Airlines Pilots Association (SWAPA), which represents more than 10,000 pilots at the Dallas-based carrier, did not provide the details of the deal.
Casey Murray, SWAPA’s president, said the union’s board will meet on Wednesday to evaluate the deal and decide whether to send it to the pilots for a ratification vote.
