A tentative agreement for wage cuts for the pilots at ATA Holdings Corp has been approved by the ATA Master Executive Council, a unit of the Air Line Pilots Association.

The deal is expected to generate up to USD6m in immediate savings for ATA Airlines, which is now bankrupt. The agreement includes across-the-board wage cuts for flight crew members and is expected to be submitted to the union's membership for a vote very soon. Voting will end on 9 January 2005.

According to Reuters, the tentative agreement calls for a temporary reduction in flight crew pay as well as a 50% cut in company contributions to flight crew retirement plans.
