Delta may have to rehire 1,060 pilots - WSJ=20

NEW YORK, April 29 (Reuters) - Delta Air Lines (DAL

) may have to rehire 1,060 pilots laid off after the September 11, 2001
attacks at a cost of more than $100 million annually, the Wall Street
Journal said on Thursday.
The move comes as a result of an arbitration panel ruling that
furloughed pilots could return to their jobs should the airline see its
passenger numbers return to the level Delta had before the disaster, the
Journal said.
The No. 3 U.S. airline this week told its airline pilots union that the
carrier had reached passenger levels that could trigger the rehiring
from December 2003 through March 2004, the Journal said, citing people
familiar with the matter.
Delta just barely reached the volumes that would trigger a pilot recall,
the Journal said, and the pilots' union and airline may ask the panel
that decided the rule for clarification on the data, the Journal said.
The pilot rehiring would cost the airline about $115 million in annual
wages, excluding benefits, the Journal said.
A Delta spokesman acknowledged giving the data to the pilots' union, the
Journal said, but declined to discuss the data.
A Delta representative could not be immediately reached for comment by
