Delta pilots authorize strike "if necessary," as contract negotiations continue
CBSN
Pilots at Delta Air Lines voted to authorize union leaders to call a strike, but it might be a largely symbolic gesture as hurdles remain before the pilots can legally walk off the job.
The Air Line Pilots Association said Monday that 96% of Delta pilots took part in the vote, and 99% of those favored calling a strike "if necessary" to get a new contract.
Airline unions are seeking big pay increases and could have leverage because of labor shortages during a rebound in travel.
