Delta Air Lines pilots plan to picket at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta on Thursday ahead of the busy Labor Day travel weekend as they push for a new labor contract.
Pilots in uniform plan to assemble on the Terminal South curbside holding signs from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. The informational picketing is part of a broader round of labor demonstrations planned at airport hubs across the country by members of the Air Line Pilots Association, which represents pilots at multiple carriers.
The pilots are off-duty and the demonstration is not a strike, and Delta said it will have no effect on flight schedules. For Delta pilots, it's the third round of informational picketing this year, after picketing March 10 and June 30 over staffing issues.
