Ups Says Offer To Pilots Final

United Parcel Service made what it termed a final contract offer to union pilots Sunday, including pay raises and pension improvements.

Bob Miller, president of the Independent Pilots Association, said he would present the offer to the 2,000 UPS pilots but would remain neutral on whether they should accept it.

The pilots, who had refused to cross picket lines during the 15-day Teamsters strike, hastily resumed talks with UPS on Sunday after a three-month recess.

The proposed contract would give flight captains a 32 percent pay raise during the next five years, from $153,000 a year to $202,000. Pay for co-pilots would rise 56 percent, from $84,700 to $132,000, while flight engineers would receive a 94 percent increase, from $48,392 to $94,000.
