WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The chief executive of Delta Air Lines told a U.S. senator on Tuesday there is no merger agreement yet with Northwest Airlines, but the two sides are continuing to work toward a deal.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Minnesota Democrat, told Reuters in an interview that she spoke with Richard Anderson earlier in the day and he told her the airlines continue to work with their pilots on getting union support for consolidation.
Klobuchar said the Delta CEO did not have a specific time frame for any agreement or any guarantee from Anderson that a deal would be reached, but one source briefed on the matter told Reuters earlier that an announcement was possible within the next day or two.
