Delta’s Pilots Prepare
For Possible Merger
Delta’s pilots, represented by the Air Line Pilots
Association met Dec. 5-6 with lawyers and investment
bankers to form a union strategy for the possibility of
industry consolidation.
The union said it is actively preparing for a Delta
merger. The ALPA unit said at some point a merger could
draw its support, but an ill-conceived, hasty merger
attempt could be disastrous. “Without the support of
the Delta pilots, any attempt at consolidation involving
Delta will fail,†they said. The ALPA unit said it wants to
avoid the pitfalls seen at other airlines that have merged.

Gee, I wonder which airline's pitfalls they are trying to avoid?
