Delta, NWA pilot pact approved
Monday August 11, 4:00 pm ET
By Harry R. Weber, AP Business Writer
Delta, Northwest pilots approve joint collective bargaining agreement 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 memo 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.
Of eligible Delta pilots who cast a ballot, 61.74 percent voted in favor of the new agreement, while 86.76 percent of eligible Northwest pilots who cast a ballot voted in favor.
With ratification by both pilot groups, the joint agreement will become effective when the merger between Delta and Northwest closes, which is expected by the end of the year, Delta's pilots union said in a message to its pilots.
The pilots still do not have a deal to integrate their seniority lists, but have agreed to submit to binding arbitration if they cannot come to terms on their own within a certain timeframe. A three-member panel has already been chosen in case arbitration is needed.
Pilots value their seniority because it determines their schedule, the aircraft they fly and layoff protection.

NWA ALPA isn't done censoring yet. Maybe we'll hear from our union by end of month. Communication hasn't been their strong suit.

That was a done deal with LOA 19, this just put us all on the same page. Now comes the real fun, SLI.
Sucks, doesn't it?
Go back to your regional section, no one cares what you think. DAL and NWA pilots earned the right to agree or disagree on this vote and the SLI. You however, have earned the right to continue in the right seat of your CRJ(for now).
And that means a lot coming from a former CRJ pilot, who is still wet behind the ear at a major carrier now.
You are just like your friend, Superpilot92
Thanks for the compliment! Superpilot seems very intelligent, unlike yourself.
But I can assure you, Superpilot and I have different backgrounds.
I find it ironic how a former CRJ pilot can think so high of himself, put down other regional/CRJ pilots, and think that their "sh*t don't stink."
Look in the mirrow. That regional airline, and that CRJ is what got you to where you are. So don't bother talking crap about regionals, CRJs, and what seat I do or do not belong in.

Look in the mirrow. WHAT??? That regional airline, and that CRJ is what got you to where you are. NO, it isn't!So don't bother talking crap about regionals, CRJs, and what seat I do or do not belong in.
I responded to your tirade on another thread. You're really bent out of shape over this whole merger. I guess you see your career flushing down the toilet.
You really have some anger/jealousy issues, all your rants about this merger are funny.:laugh:

Your profile says CRJ and DC9, so is there any doubt that you were a regional pilot (CRJ) who got hired at NWA within the last 12-24 months?
How many mergers have been good for employees in the past history? Not many! No matter what piece of paper you got, management will find a way to screw you guys over in a heartbeat.
And btw, I saw a NWA pilot with a sticker on his flight case that said, "Hired, Not Acquired." This was a while back.
I can only imagine what will happen with the SLI and if that goes bad............
As stated many times by lots of others on FI...If you think I've listed all the aircraft I've flown in my profile, you're mistaken(think military).

Good suggestion but this guy is so easy to get in a hissy fit that it's sort of fun.
Anyway, I want Tanker Clown to be the only "clown" reserved for my ignore list so his dumb a$$ posts have a special place to reside!
