Delta Air Lines pilots have received permits to picket at Northwest Airlines hub airports in Minneapolis and Detroit. The move comes as the impasse over a proposed merger of the two airlines’ pilot seniority lists continues. The dispute has stalled a proposed combination of the carriers.
The permits allow Delta’s pilots to picket for two weeks, starting April 10. In the past, Delta’s pilots have received such permits but not engaged in picketing. Northwest’s pilots union says it will consider picketing Delta’s hub airports.
According to the Associated Press, executives with Delta and Northwest are trying to determine whether to proceed with a merger, in spite of the ongoing dispute between the two airlines’ pilots groups.
