Unionized workers in the FAA’s Flight Standards and Aircraft Certification organizations will be getting a $5,000 cash bonus and be allowed to continue spending only two days a week in the office.

According to Federal News Network, negotiators for the 11,000 members of the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists (PASS) union said this week they’ve reached a tentative deal with the FAA after two years of negotiations. It has yet to be ratified and will also have to go through a legal review to make sure it fits within federal labor relations rules, but PASS president Dave Spero told the Federal News Network he expects the process to lead to a final deal.
