After three days of negotiations Estonian Air and its pilots union reached a collective-bargaining agreement, averting a strike. The Airline Pilots’ Association signed the accord after it was approved by the company’s board. The pilots’ association cancelled the strike after signing the agreement, which expires in February 2014. The agreement leaves the wage conditions of pilots unchanged but introduces changes to work and resting time conditions.
