An important part of that agreement was a unanimous commitment on the part of Delta’s pilot union leaders that “the Delta [union leadership] welcomes the Northwest pilots as partners in the building of the new merged airline and looks forward to working with the Northwest [union leadership] to bring about the rapid completion of a new joint agreement to take effect on the closing of the corporate transaction providing immediate parity in rates of pay and further providing for a rapid completion of a fair and equitable integrated seniority list to take effect on the effective date of the new joint agreement.”

The Delta pilots have a long and proud history of treating each other fairly and acting with the best interests of our fellow pilots in mind, and make no mistake, once the corporate transaction closes, the Delta and Northwest pilots will all be Delta pilots. Our ethics of integrity, fairness and professionalism will not be compromised as we transition to a group over 12,000 strong.
