Union leaders of US Airways pilots considering new contract vote.
Byline: Thomas Ginsberg
PHILADELPHIA _ The US Airways pilots' union tentatively agreed to $300 million in immediate cuts Friday in an effort to save their airline, potentially the first major break for the company in months.
The 12-member executive council of the Air Line Pilots Association was meeting late Friday night to decide whether to let its 3,200 members vote on the proposed nine-year contract, with an 18 percent pay cut.
Even if union leaders cleared the proposal for a membership vote, large hurdles remained for the struggling airline _ notably, negotiating $650 million in cost-cutting pacts with three other unions.
Still, a new pilots' contract would be a breakthrough allowing progress on other issues.
