Delta Air Lines Inc., which is operating under bankruptcy protection, and the union representing its pilots on Friday said they reached a tentative agreement, potentially averting a strike that could have been fatal to the airline.
The No. 3 U.S. airline and the pilots union, the Air Line Pilots Association International, said the tentative agreement is expected to be presented to the union’s governing body, the Delta MEC, in the upcoming weeks. Both parties declined to disclose details of the tentative agreement, which if ratified, would then be subject to approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
