Kitty Hawk, pilots agree to long-term labor deal
Pilots and flight engineers at Kitty Hawk Aircargo have ratified a 10-year labor agreement, according to the company and the pilots' union.

Other unique features of the deal, according to the company and the Kitty Hawk Pilots Association, include a no strike/no lockout clause; limits on the number of changes permitted to the agreement and binding arbitration to resolve contract-related disputes.
Kitty Hawk employees 136 people for its flight crews.
