The US Airways' pilots' union has agreed to a new labor contract that will save the bankrupt airline $300 million a year. Pilots have accepted an 18 percent pay cut and more flight hours per month. US Airways is hopeful that this deal will speed talks with machinists, flight attendants and passenger service workers regarding cost cuts.
