Nearly five years after they began negotiations, Atlanta Southeast Airlines and the Air Line Pilots Association reached a long overdue, tentative labor contract at press time last Friday covering the airline’s 1,700 pilots. According to ASA President Bryan LaBrecque, "It has been a long road to get here, but we are glad to finally have a tentative contract agreement that will benefit ASA's hard-working pilots while allowing us to remain cost-competitive within the regional airline industry."
