Northwest, Delta pilots to meet

Last update: May 8, 2008 - 8:24 PM

Pilots at Northwest Airlines say they'll meet with Delta Air Lines pilots for two days next week to begin working out a joint contract. The pilot groups tried but failed to resolve their differences before the airlines last month announced plans to combine. The pilots failed to merge their seniority lists, which determine who gets the most desirable planes and schedules. A hot-line message from the Northwest pilots union said the meeting will focus on a joint contract, with seniority issues to come later.
