The management and union failed to narrow their differences over the wage increase rate. As a result, since June, the pilots' union has been conducting lawful protests. Ultimately, both sides reached a tentative agreement to freeze wages from 2019 to 2021, and to increase last year's base salary and flight allowances by 2.5% each.

The management and union plan to sign the final wage agreement soon. An Asiana Airlines official said, “We thank all the pilots' union members who helped create a foundation for harmony between labor and management,” and added, “We will continue to strive to build a cooperative labor-management culture and become a company that grows together.”
