United, pilots reach tentative deal

Article Abstract:

United Airlines announced that it has reached a tentative agreement with its pilots' union, an event that may end delayed and cancelled flights that started since the middle of Apr 2000. However, the agreement does not guarantee the immediate return of normal operations at United since the contract must be approved by the union's executive council and approved by the pilots themselves, a process that may take until the middle of Oct 2000. The agreement came after 40 hours of consecutive bargaining led by United Pres Rono Dutta and union chairman FC Dubinsky.
