American Airlines pilots who were affected by a computer glitch that left thousands of flights with understaffed cockpits are set to receive triple pay after the company and its pilots’ union, Allied Pilots Association, reached an agreement on July 6.

The agreement came after 12,000 American Airlines flights set for July were briefly allowed to be dropped by pilots due to a computer glitch that has since been fixed.
