6,000 pilots of Delta Air Vote to Strike
Nearly 6000 drivers in the Delta Air Lines, as resistant to a second round of concessions, voted by an overwhelming majority in favour of approving the strike should their contract invalid by arbitration, pilots, ” said the union. The group expects that a decision of 15 April.
The pilot’s decision gives negotiating on both sides of driving licence for more than a week too narrow their differences and avoid a work stoppage, which many believe, a liquidation of Delta. Among the issues to the company’s request for $ 305 million during the years of pay cuts, the pilots have spent $ 140 million.
“The Delta pilots strike if their contract is rejected,” said Lee Moak, a pilot and president of the chapter of the Delta Air Line Pilots Association.
Delta bankruptcy protection in September, and after the filing both sides agreed to arbitration rather than the rule of a bankruptcy judge at the request of management based on lapse of pilots’ contract and the introduction of a reduction of wages and other conditions.
As Judge surveillance of bankruptcy procedures, the arbitration panel, a decision should be whether the contract should be discarded. But the pilots praised not work without a contract, if the judgement against it. The jury has two sides to resolve the issue, rather than wait until the group either void or let yourself pilots’ constitutional treaty.
The CEO of Delta, Gerald Grinstein, said last week that the airline, it all depends on donors, funding could withdraw in the case of a strike, could not survive even a permanent shutdown of 24 hours .
Fallout from a strike would be an economic shock in Atlanta, where Delta is based, and South-East as well as 50000 workers, whose jobs of the airline would be in danger.
“I do not think it reaches a strike,” said Roger King, an airline analyst at CreditSights, a credit research independent of the company. He said the vote was an additional instrument for the negotiating position of the European Union.
Both the European Union and the administration have indicated that they would have preferred a solution. The pilots, the only important work in the delta group represented by the union, Made $ 1 billion in annual concessions in 2004. And the European Union indicates that improving the airline in the industry - planes are flying full airlines and prices are increasing - say that Delta does not need more than $ 305 million in concessions .
But Delta management contends that the industry, the recovery is still fragile and that translates into an intense long-term threat from the east coast market their low-cost, as Southwest Airlines, JetBlue and AirTran Airways.
Some passengers are already avoiding Delta. “I do not want every chance,” said Charlotte D. Sutton, a professor of management at Auburn University, Alabama, decided, after consultation yesterday on the vote of another company for a July trip and her daughter returned to Lima, Peru
