Does this article mean maybe we will get a heads up on a strike date so we can make alternate plans if it pertains to the dates we are flying?
ATLANTA The head of the Delta Air Lines pilots union is seeking authority to decide when and if a strike is to happen. Union chairman Lee Moak is to meet with other union leaders today, now that they've voted to authorize a strike.
Delta, the nation's third-largest carrier, is operating under bankruptcy protection.
An arbitration panel must decide by April 15th whether to void the pilots' contract.
Delta has said such a strike would force it to go out of business.
Any strike decision would likely prompt a court challenge by the company, which would almost certainly seek a restraining order. Moak says in an interview the union will "do what is legal."
