NWA, Delta Pilots To Take Contract To Management

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) ― Northwest and Delta pilots plan to go to Delta management with a proposed joint contract on Thursday.

A new hot line message from Northwest's pilot union doesn't address the stickiest issue -- seniority. But pilots have said they expect that to be worked out later.

The message says Northwest pilots believe a joint contract can be achieved quickly.

Northwest and Delta airlines are aiming to combine into the world's largest carrier this year, if they get federal approval. They don't need pilot permission to combine, but merging the pilot groups will save the new airline money.
