Under the leadership of Captain Jay Pierce, we have reached an agreement which will allow United Airlines to move forward into the future and secure its spot as the worlds premier airline. The agreement between the former Continental Pilot Group will allow us to staff the next generation B737 Max, our current deliveries of B737s, and 787s at industry competitive rates and retain the manpower advantages we have enjoyed.

While complete contract details will be announced in the near future, the tentative agreement includes a $20,000 per pilot signing bonus, twelve percent pay increases and continues to provide the staffing flexibility for our future aircraft fleet growth. We would like to thank Captain Pierce for his help in procuring this industry leading contract and the future of United Airlines."
