Urhulumente wase-US u-OKs Delta, ukudibana komNtla-ntshona

Ukudityaniswa okucetywayo kweDelta Air Lines Inc. kunye neNorthwest Airlines Corp. kucime omnye umqobo karhulumente ngoMvulo. I-United States Federal Aviation Administration iye yamkele izicwangciso ze-Atlanta-based Delta kunye ne-Eagan, i-Minn.-esekelwe kuMntla-ntshona wesatifikethi esisodwa sokusebenza kwi-carrier edibeneyo, i-airlines ibhengezwe kwi-news release.

Izicwangciso ezingeniswe ngabathwali zichaza ukuba iinqwelomoya ziza kwenza ntoni kwiinyanga ezili-15 ukuya kwii-18 ezizayo ukudibanisa imisebenzi yazo yemihla ngemihla kunye nokufezekisa isatifikethi esisodwa sokusebenza, abathwali bathi. Isatifikethi siza kuvumela iinkampani zeenqwelo moya ukuba zidibanise imisebenzi emva kokuvalwa kokudityaniswa okucetywayo, abathi amagosa eDelta angagqitywa ekupheleni konyaka.

"Le yimbali ebalulekileyo kwiinzame zethu zokuhlanganisa iinqwelomoya zethu ezimbini," utshilo uJohn Laughter, usekela mongameli ophezulu weDelta kwimisebenzi yolondolozo, kwingxelo yeendaba.

I-Delta yabhengeza ngo-Epreli ukuba iya kudibana noMntla-ntshona kwi-17.7 yeebhiliyoni zeerandi ze-stock-stock deal, eza kudala esona sithwali sikhulu sehlabathi.

“Ukwamkelwa kwesicwangciso sethu kubeka isiseko sotshintsho olululo lwemisebenzi yethu,” utshilo uKen Hylander, usekela mongameli omkhulu wezokhuseleko, ubunjineli kunye negosa eliyintloko lokhuseleko eMntla-ntshona. "Eyona njongo yethu iphambili kukuphumeza inguqu engenamthungo kubathengi bethu kwaye eli linyathelo elikhulu ukuya esiphelweni."

Bobabini abanini-zabelo abathwali bacwangciselwe ukuvota kwindibano ngoLwesine, kunye nemvume elindelwe ngokubanzi. Indibaniselwano sele ifumene imvume kwiKhomishini yaseYurophu kwaye i-DL kunye ne-NWA bathi balindele ukuvunywa kweSebe lezoBulungisa lase-US ekupheleni konyaka.

Inkampani yeenqwelomoya edityanisiweyo, eza kubizwa ngokuba yiDelta, iya kusebenzisa iqela leenqwelomoya eziphantse zibe ngama-800 kwaye iqeshe abasebenzi abamalunga nama-75,000 kwihlabathi liphela.

Ukudibanisa kuya kusongela ipenshini yabasebenzi - imeko ethi iinqwelomoya ayilunganga.

Abasebenzi baseMntla-ntshona abangama-12,500 abamelwe nguMbutho waMazwe ngaMazwe weeMachinist kunye nabasebenzi be-Aerospace Workers banesicwangciso somhlalaphantsi sesiqhelo esihlawula intlawulo yenyanga. "Ukudityaniswa okungacetyiswa kweDelta-Northwest kuya kubeka emngciphekweni yonke into abayisebenzele ngelixa betshabalalisa iinqwelomoya ezimbini ezazikhe zaba zikhulu kwaye isoyikisa ukunyibilika kwe-arhente yeinshurensi yelizwe lethu," utshilo uRobert Roach, usekela mongameli jikelele we-IAM.

"Oku kuya kuthwalisa umthwalo kwi-PBGC ngaphezulu kwe-15.6 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kumatyala ongezelelweyo ngaphezulu kwentsilelo yayo ye-13.1 yeebhiliyoni zeedola kunyaka-mali ka-2007," utshilo uRoach.

Usekela mongameli weDelta uRobert Kight uthe abaphathi beenqwelo moya "bayabazi abasebenzi bethu kunye nabadla umhlala phantsi banokuba nexhala malunga notshintsho oluzayo," kodwa ukudibanisa kuya kubenza bakhuseleke ngakumbi ngokuvumela abathwali ukuba banciphise iindleko ngexesha apho amaxabiso epetroli aphezulu kakhulu enyuka. iingeniso. Ngelixa iSebe lezoBulungisa lilodwa linamandla okuthintela ukudibanisa kwizizathu zokungathembeki, iCongress ibhala imithetho ekhusela izibonelelo zepenshini.

Abaqulunqi bomthetho bafuna ukuqiniseka ukuba ukuba ukudityaniswa kwenqwelomoya kuye kwagqitywa, ubomi babantu abadla umhlala-phantsi “abutshabalali,” utshilo uSihlalo wekomiti uRobert Andrews, DN.J.. "Kukho imiba enzulu yomhlalaphantsi ebandakanyekayo apha."

Ngaphandle kwabaqhubi bayo, abasebenzi beDelta bayinto engaqhelekanga. Phantse bonke abasebenzi abafanelekileyo baseMntla-ntshona bamanyene.

Kubasebenzi beenqwelo-moya, ukuxhalaba malunga nenkamnkam akuyonto engenasihlahla. UThomas Kochan, uprofesa we-MIT ofunda iinqwelomoya, uxelele ikomiti ukuba phakathi kwe-2001 kunye ne-2005, iinqwelomoya zase-US zaphelisa imisebenzi eyi-100,000. Ngexesha lokutshona kwemali, izicwangciso zomhlalaphantsi ezili-16 ezibandakanya abasebenzi abangama-240,000 ziye zayekiswa zaza zajikelwa kwi-PBGC.
