Summary
Southwest Airlines and its pilots union are close to reaching a new labor deal that would include significant pay raises, improvements to retirement benefits, and scheduling. The agreement, if approved, would end months of contentious negotiations and come ahead of the holiday travel season. Other major airlines have already finalized labor agreements with pilots this year. The specifics of the deal have not been disclosed, but both the airline and the union are working towards finalizing the remaining items. This would be the latest in a series of big labor deals this year.
