Delta is calling a strike threat by the pilot's union "murder-suicide." The Airline Pilots Association represents more than 6,000 Delta pilots and has suggested that if their contract is rejected in court they could walk off the job. The airline is looking for $325 million in concessions, the pilots have offered $90.7 million in annual concessions over four years. This would be on top of $1 billion in concessions the pilots agreed to last year - that deal included a 32.5 percent cut in pay. Delta has also suggested it may eliminate its defined benefit pension plan.
