Under pressure to help their employer meet financing conditions set by regional jet lessor GECAS, the pilots of US Airways voted to ratify a new agreement that will allow the troubled airline to transfer delivery positions for Embraer 170s and Bombardier CRJs from wholly owned subsidiaries to independent US Airways Express carriers. Only 74.1 percent of the eligible active pilots cast ballots. Of the 2,370 pilots who voted, 76 percent agreed to the plan, known as LOA 91.
