The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) union, which represents more than 30,000 striking workers, has endorsed the offer and says it will hold a ballot of its members on Monday.
The walkout started on 13 September, leading to a dramatic slowdown in production and deepening a crisis at the firm.
The union had previously called for a 40% pay increase and workers have rejected two previous offers, including the last offer of a 35% rise.
As well as the proposed pay rise, the latest offer includes a $12,000 (£9,300) bonus for the workers if a deal is reached, up from $7,000.
