Pilots at American and Delta are studying ways to reconstitute or replace retirement plans that were scrapped or frozen during the airlines past financial struggles.
United Parcel Service Inc. forecast 2015 earnings growth that will be short of a long-term goal as it faces higher pension contributions and a stronger dollar.
Virgin America Inc. flight attendants voted to establish the first union at the airline partly owned by U.K. billionaire Richard Branson, ending its status as the largest U.S. carrier without organized labor.
United Parcel Service Inc. will record a pretax cost of about $1.05 billion this quarter for changes to health-care benefits for union workers under a five-year contract.
JetBlue Airways Corp. pilots voted to join the Air Line Pilots Association, ending the carriers status as the biggest U.S. airline without a union and erasing a gain in the stock.
