Pilots union concerned about proposed alliance

MINNEAPOLIS - The pilots union at Northwest Airlines is concerned about the carrier&#39;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&#39;t be a decrease in flying by Northwest&#39;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&#39;s working with its pilots union to give members information they need to make a decision about the alliance.
