Delta Merger ready to sign?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported today that a long-anticipated merger between Delta and Northwest Airlines is ready to sign, once pilots get on board.
Reporter Liz Fedor quotes “a source familiar with the negotiations” in her story, which said the merger deal “is set to be unveiled as soon as the pilots from both carriers resolve issues surrounding seniority.”
There is growing speculation the deal could be announced next week, even though Delta and Northwest officials have declined comment about progress.
Fedor’s article said the Northwest pilot’s executive council met Thursday to discuss the merger, the proposed labor contract and the union’s strategy to resolve the seniority conflict. Pilot leaders are expected to continue that meeting today.
