St. Paul, Minn. — Delta Air Lines' pilots union said it has been unable to reach agreement on seniority issues with the pilots union at Eagan-based Northwest Airlines.
The head of Delta's pilots union has written a letter describing an impasse between the two groups over the highly sensitive issue of seniority.
The move raises doubts about whether a merger between Delta and Northwest will proceed.
Minnesota Public Radio's Martin Moylan joined Steven John on "All Things Considered" to discuss the latest developments.
