Pilots: Delta-Northwest deal off
The pilots of Delta Air Lines and Northwest Airlines have not been able to agree on a deal that would pave the way for a merger between the two airlines, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday night on its Web site.
In a letter to Delta executives, the head of the pilots union said they haven't been able to negotiate a benefits and seniority agreement that would satisfy both sides, according to the report fast cash advance.
Atlanta-based Delta (NYSE: DAL) and Eagan, Minn.-based Northwest (NYSE: NWA) had been discussing a merger, but were reluctant to move forward without a labor deal with the pilots.
Delta operates a hub from the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.
