Pilots at American Airlines have reached an agreement in principle on a new contract, their union said on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The
\n Allied Pilots Association (APA), which represents over 13,000 pilots at
\n the Texas-based carrier, said it will move forward with completing
\ncontractual language of the contract before presenting it to its board
\nfor an approval.<\/span><\/p>\n

The union did not share the details of the new contract.<\/span><\/p>\n

But
\ntwo sources with direct knowledge of the matter said the deal is for a
\nfour-year contract that has pay rates comparable to the wages secured by
\n pilots at Delta Air Lines.<\/span><\/p>\n

It
\n also includes improvements on scheduling, a critical issue for pilots
\nwho are seeking better work-life balance in a profession that often
\nrequires them to be away for days from their families, they said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The
\n deal comes over two months after Delta’s pilots ratified their contract
\n that includes over $7 billion in cumulative increases in pay and
\nbenefits over four years.<\/span><\/p>\n

It underscores the bargaining power
\npilots are enjoying as airlines rush to boost staff numbers ahead of
\nwhat is shaping up to be a busy summer travel season.<\/span><\/p>\n

American, Delta, United Airlines and Southwest Airlines are estimated to hire about 8,000 pilots this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Analysts
\n at Jefferies estimate the United States is short about 10,000 pilots.
\nThis supply-demand gap is projected to last until 2027.<\/span><\/p>\n
