The union, which represents about 14,000 pilots, said the tentative deal also provides for an eight-week paid maternity leave, enhanced overtime and training pay. The agreement would make United the first major U.S. airline to strike a pay deal with a pilot union at a time when the industry has had to cut back on flying due to a shortage of aviators.
Members will have until July 15 to vote on the two-year deal, the United Master Executive Council said in a tweet.Reporting by Nathan Gomes in Bengaluru; Editing by Shinjini Ganguli and Devika Syamnath
