Delta, NWA pilots can’t agree
It looks as if the rumored merger of Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines is dead. According to the Associated Press, pilots of the two airlines could not agree on a seniority deal. With that in mind, Delta prepared to announce a major overhaul of its operations Tuesday. The disclosure about pilot talks was made Monday afternoon in a letter from the head of the pilots union at Delta, Lee Moak, to rank-and-file Delta pilots, the AP reports. The letter does not mention Northwest, but describes the union that Delta’s pilots had been negotiating with as the only one they were focused on talking with, according to the AP. Multiple officials close to the talks have said in recent months that the other company was Northwest Airlines Corp. The letter talks about the discussions with the other carrier in the past tense, suggesting at least for now there won’t be further talks.
