Delta welcomes the settlement agreement between the DOJ and AMR-US Airways Group

Delta Air Lines (Atlanta) issued the following statement in response to the settlement of litigation brought by the U.S. Department of Justice challenging the merger of American Airlines and US Airways.

“Delta welcomes the settlement agreement and looks forward to the opportunity to acquire slots that will be divested under the agreement, particularly at Washington-Reagan National Airport. Delta is the airline best positioned to continue competitive nonstop flights from Reagan National to small- and mid-sized cities that could otherwise see service reduced or eliminated, which should be a strong consideration in the divestiture.”

Capital Cargo International Airlines (Orlando) flight crewmembers, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA), ratified a new tentative contract agreement. Of the 95 percent of CCIA crewmembers who voted, 71 percent voted in favor of the agreement.

The contract becomes effective on August 1, 2010. The company has crew bases in Cincinnati, Toledo, and Miami.

Capital Cargo International Airlines’ (Orlando) pilots, represented by the Air Line Pilots Association, International (ALPA), will vote on a tentative agreement that, if ratified by members, will result in a new contract. The proposed 36-month agreement would include pay increases, a new contract bonus, as well as improved work rules and quality of life enhancements for cockpit crewmembers.

Negotiators for the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA), which represents CCIA crewmembers, and Capital Cargo International Airlines met during the week of May 10 under the supervision of the National Mediation Board (NMB). The crewmembers and management worked out the deal during the late hours of May 15, after intense bargaining that extended over the weekend. Final language was completed this week.

In June, the pilot leaders and negotiating committee team will begin a series of road shows, in Cincinnati, Toledo and Miami—the crew hubs—to provide details of the agreement to the membership. After the education campaign is completed, Capital Cargo’s 122 cockpit crewmembers will have the opportunity to vote on whether to ratify the agreement.

Capital Cargo crewmembers merged their independent union with ALPA in 2007. At that time, they began negotiating as an ALPA pilot group after voting down two tentative contract agreements achieved by their independent union.
