Good news from the Delta camp. Delta and its pilots have
apparently reached a possible solution to their disagreements, thus avoiding major pilot strikes. Good news for me, in particular—almost all of my business flying is on Delta. From The Washington Post:
Delta Air Lines Inc. and negotiators for its pilots union reached a tentative agreement Friday on long-term pay and benefit cuts that could avert a strike at the nation's third largest carrier and ease uncertainty among travelers over the busy holiday weekend.
No details of the agreement were released, but the deal means the two sides have cleared a major hurdle though they are not out of the woods yet. The deal is subject to ratification by the airline's 5,930 pilots and must be approved by the bankruptcy court.

Thanks Dan, it'll be interesting to see if this is a deal for both sides or a desperate move for either...
I sometimes wonder how airlines stay in business in spite of struggles to articulate and communicate with those they serve. What do you think?
