Delta MEC, a unit of the Air Line Pilots Association, said the agreement – which still needs approval from Delta’s nearly 13,000 pilots – will cut monthly minimum guaranteed hours by 5%, Reuters reported.
In September, Delta reached a tentative agreement with the negotiating committee of its pilots’ union to reduce the number of furloughs by 220, bringing the new total number of job reductions to 1,721.
