Delta Northwest Pilots USA (wgvu) - ATLANTA (AP) - Pilots at Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines
have approved a joint collective bargaining agreement.
Ratification of the agreement has been a key element of Delta's
efforts to achieve a smooth integration of the two companies when
it acquires Northwest later this year.
Delta's pilots union issued a statement detailing the results
Monday, the deadline for rank-and-file pilots of both airlines to
vote.
The agreement covers roughly 12,000 pilots of the two airlines.
Northwest is Michigan's biggest passenger air carrier, and has a
hub at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
