អ្នកបើកយន្តហោះ Delta បញ្ចប់ការបោះឆ្នោតលើកិច្ចសន្យាថ្មីជាមួយនឹងការកើនឡើងដ៏ធំ

ដីសណ្តរបន្ទាត់អ៊ែរ pilots on Wednesday will wrap up voting on a new contract that includes 34% raises over four years and other improvements as the industry faces a protracted shortage of aviators and strong តម្រូវការធ្វើដំណើរ.

Delta and the pilots’ union had ឈានដល់ a preliminary agreement in December. The Delta pilots are expected to approve the deal Wednesday. That would make the Atlanta-based airline the first of the largest U.S. carriers to finalize a labor agreement with its pilots. សហរដ្ឋ, អាមេរិច និង និរតី pilots’ unions are still in negotiations.

ការចាប់ផ្តើម ជំងឺរាតត្បាត Covid three years ago had delayed negotiations at major airlines. Travel demand has since rebounded, and airline executives have said pilot shortages have limited capacity growth, a factor that has kept airfares high.

“The pilots as a whole are striking when the iron is hot,” said Savanthi Syth, airline analyst at Raymond James. “They probably realize this is the best moment in time to get a deal done.”

In January, Delta said that even with “all expected labor cost increases” it expects a drop of up to 4% in nonfuel costs.

Contract talks between airlines and labor unions have been fraught at times, as aviators seek higher pay and better schedules. Delta’s pilots last year បានបោះឆ្នោតគាំទ្រ of allowing the union to authorize a strike when contract talks hadn’t yielded an agreement, and the airline’s pilots picketed several times.

ក្រុមហ៊ុនអាកាសចរណ៍អាឡាស្កា pilots won raises in their latest labor deal last year. JetBlue អ៊ែរវ៉េ និង ក្រុមហ៊ុនអាកាសចរណ៍ព្រះវិញ្ញាណ, which are awaiting a government response to their planned merger, have each បានវាយប្រហារកិច្ចព្រមព្រៀង with their pilots recently.

Regional airlines, where the pilot shortage has been most severe, have also hiked pay recently to attract and retain pilots.
