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

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.
