Delta: Strike Would Be 'Murder-Suicide'

Meanwhile, Delta said Monday that it has reached a deal for a new contract with the Professional Airline Flight Control Association, which represents 171 Delta flight superintendents. The agreement, effective Dec. 1, includes a 9 percent to 10 percent wage reduction, which is similar to what the company said it would impose on non-pilot employees not covered by a union.

Delta, which filed for Chapter 11 on Sept. 14, has recorded losses of more than $11 billion since January 2001 and over that period has announced that it would cut up to 33,000 jobs. Its loss in the third quarter, reported Thursday, was $1.13 billion.
