There had also been grumbling about Southwest's plans to sell travel to Canada and Mexico on partner airlines, which many pilots consider a threat to their jobs.

Interesting cut and paste from that article... You left out the 5 year deal, 2% per year for three years part, and the raise "based on profitability" part for the last 2 years.

How did those last two years work out? ...it's an interesting idea.

What is the current progress and length of negotiations? ...expecting DL pilots may have a slower go of it in 2015.
