ERLANGER, Ky. (AP) - Comair pilots agreed by more than a 2-to-1 margin Friday to accept wage cuts and other concessions the Delta Air Lines Inc. subsidiary said it needs to stay competitive and emerge from bankruptcy.
A recorded message by the Air Line Pilots Association said that of those voting, 770, or 69 percent, voted to accept the settlement, with 350, or 31 percent, against. The airline has nearly 1,500 pilots.
Comair said the agreement would reduce its costs by $40 million over the next four years. It earlier gained concessions from the unions representing mechanics and flight attendants as part of its restructuring.
