MINNEAPOLIS - The pilots union at Northwest Airlines is concerned about the carrier's proposed alliance with Delta and Continental. <br>
<br>
The union worries the alliance could hurt job security, income and work rules. <br>
<br>
Union spokesman Will Holman says that under its contract, the Air Line Pilots Association could veto the alliance. <br>
<br>
Holman says the union wants to make sure there won't be a decrease in flying by Northwest's 6,000 pilots. <br>
<br>
Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Transportation delayed for the third time its decision about the alliance. The deadline for a ruling was pushed back to late December. <br>
<br>
Northwest says it's working with its pilots union to give members information they need to make a decision about the alliance.
