The Air Line Pilots Association has negotiated a tentative employment agreement with Fort Worth, Texas-based AMR Corp., parent of American Eagle Airlines.

The agreement will amend the union’s 16-year contract with American Eagle, negotiated in 1997. The union represents 2,800 American Eagle pilots.

The deal will likely ensure more take-home pay for many pilots by improving such items as the minimum value of a workday and provisions for vacation payout.

Union chairman Herb Mark stated, “Our negotiators were asked to bring us an agreement that increases quality of life wherever possible but includes no concessions. This tentative agreement accomplishes that mission.”

American Eagle is the world’s largest regional airline system, operating over 1,800 flights a day, and serving 159 cities across the US, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. It was established in 1984.
