I am thinking there is one hurdle to jump before this is approved: Delta's pilots union....

Over the last year, Delta's management has treated its pilots with absolute disdain and disrespect. Claiming that "force Majeur" was still in effect despite increasing passenger numbers, management continued to lay-off pilots who had a no-furlough clause in their contract. Complete disrespect.

Now, the airline will REQUIRE PILOT UNION APPROVAL before the code-sharing can take place.

Time for all furloughs to be halted and pilots to gradually be called back (on a schedule). This code share will not help pilots - it will hurt them because routes can be consolidated and less capacity will be required.

Southwest's management doesn't disrespect its pilots and look at what they have been able to do... Southwest is growing, not contracting. Both the pilots and the management need to work together to facilitate growth in the future...
