Em­ploy­ees of US Air­ways and Amer­i­can Air­lines are ex­pect­ed to get im­proved salaries and wages when the merg­er be­tween the two US car­ri­ers is com­plet­ed lat­er this year."Each car­ri­er's em­ploy­ees will re­ceive rec­i­p­ro­cal trav­el priv­i­leges as quick­ly as pos­si­ble. The merg­er will al­so pro­vide the path to im­proved com­pen­sa­tion and ben­e­fits for em­ploy­ees," the AMR Cor­po­ra­tion, par­ent com­pa­ny of Amer­i­can Air­lines, said in a state­ment.

The two air­lines an­nounced on Thurs­day that their boards of di­rec­tors ap­proved "a de­fin­i­tive merg­er" agree­ment. It comes af­ter the AMR Cor­po­ra­tion filed for bank­rupt­cy pro­tec­tion more than a year ago.The AMR Cor­po­ra­tion said the col­lec­tive agree­ment for its em­ployess will be im­proved as the merg­er takes ef­fect.

"The unions rep­re­sent­ing Amer­i­can Air­lines pi­lots, flight at­ten­dants and ground em­ploy­ees, as well as the union rep­re­sent­ing US Air­ways pi­lots have agreed to terms for im­proved col­lec­tive bar­gain­ing agree­ments ef­fec­tive up­on the clos­ing of the merg­er."Re­gard­ing a col­lec­tive agree­ment for US Air­ways flight at­ten­dants the com­pa­ny said: "The union rep­re­sent­ing US Air­ways flight at­ten­dants has reached a ten­ta­tive agree­ment that in­cludes sup­port for the merg­er.

The Amer­i­can Air­lines unions rep­re­sent­ing pi­lots and flight at­ten­dants are work­ing with their US Air­ways coun­ter­parts to de­ter­mine rep­re­sen­ta­tion and sin­gle agree­ment pro­to­cols."
