Delta pilots oppose takeover

[Noserider76]

WASHINGTON, Dec 5 (Reuters) - The pilot union of Delta Air Lines Inc. (DALRQ.PK: Quote, Profile , Research) on Tuesday "denounced" an $8.5 billion takeover bid by US Airways Group Inc. (LCC.N: Quote, Profile , Research), saying a US Airways presentation about the offer revealed conflicts that would affect the viability of the merger.
The Air Line Pilots Association, which is on the nine- member official committee of unsecured creditors of Delta, is the first creditor group to publicly oppose the merger after a presentation by US Airways to the committee and Delta management last week.
The union said Delta and its employees were "actively defending" the company against the bid after an initial analysis of the offer revealed significant conflicts with their contract.

Finally. Anti-merger rally Dec 13th in Atlanta. Be there or be square.

I'm sure most of U/AWA pilots don't want the deal to go through either. Why? So Parker and lawyers, bankers and others make $$$ and a high % of employees getting the pink slip.

I think your right. It would be cool if both groups got together and showed the money guys what we think about this.

You can't blame them, who wants to work for a LCC?

If another airline should outbid LCC or bid for certain routes/gates/airplanes DAL could be broken up into pieces. That will satisfy DOJ, regulators and all the creditors will be ha$$y!! Feel sorry for all the non-union DAL employees. Time will tell!!

And on a related note Delta pilots also announced that they are against Gravity. Picketing will begin Early January.

Not gonna be allowed to happen. Just because one guy tries a shady deal doesn't mean the parts are for sale. DL is worth much more to Boeing and the other creditors whole and solo. Once this crappy deal is dead we're back to status quo and the merger train has been derailed.

Aren't we a creditor? We're even on the unsecured creditor committee. Yes, we are. We oppose it.
