17 OCTOBER 2008
Today the NWA Air Line Pilots Association Master Executive Council unaminously adopted a resolution of support for the Association of Flight Attendants and for our organizing efforts at Delta Air Lines. We thank them for their historic move and their spirit of solidarity, and we look forward to continuing the long tradition of mutual respect and professional cooperation between our two unions.
Please join us in thanking our ALPA brothers and sisters for their support, as we stand shoulder to shoulder to preserve the benefits of unionization, at what will be the world's largest airline.

Resolution of Support for the Association of Flight Attendants
WHEREAS the Northwest pilots have a progressive, hard won tradition that is demonstrated by our longstanding support of unionized airline employees, and
WHEREAS the strong professional relationship between the pilots of Northwest ALPA and the flight attendants of Northwest AFA is based on mutual respect and history of cooperation, and
WHEREAS Northwest AFA and Northwest ALPA have many common issues and needs when working as on duty flight crew and contract representatives,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the NWA ALPA MEC fully supports our fellow unionized flying partners in the cabin, represented by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, and
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that we will encourage ALPA International to join us in supporting the organizing effort of the DAL flight attendants, so that the benefits of unionization including safety, security and professionalism for AFA, ALPA and other unions within the new airline, will continue to contribute to the success of the merged carrier.
