Mesaba Airlines and its flight attendants union announced Sunday that they have reached a tentative agreement that allows the bankrupt carrier to reduce its labor costs. Details of the attendants' tentative agreement were not released Sunday. The union's executive council will meet Tuesday to review the deal. Mesaba originally sought concessions last December, so it has been a long and arduous road for Mesaba and its unions to achieve tentative agreements.
