Southwest pilots OK 29% pay raise
Southwest Airlines Co. pilots approved a new contract that will boost pay almost 30 percent over its term and improve retirement benefits while falling short of recent raises proposed at some rival U.S. carriers.
The agreement was approved by about 84 percent of those voting, the Southwest Airlines Pilots’ Association said in a statement Monday. The labor group, which represents 8,500 aviators, and the airline negotiated more than four years on the accord.
Pay for Southwest pilots would increase 29.4 percent compounded over the term of the four-year agreement, the union said. It includes a 15 percent pay increase to cover years the pact was being negotiated and 3 percent annual raises. The accord also boosts retirement benefits.
Pilots at major U.S. airlines typically seek industry-leading pay in contract talks, a goal the Southwest union said it achieved before peers at Delta Air Lines Inc. negotiated a tentative agreement with higher rates. Southwest union leaders tried unsuccessfully to reopen part of their contract during voting to negotiate a bigger increase. Voting on Delta’s proposed accord begins Thursday.
