Pilots at Delta Air Lines voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike if the airline follows through with plans to invalidate its contract with their union and impose up to $325 million in pay and benefit cuts, including a further 18 percent wage reduction. Delta's pilots had already accepted a 32.5 percent wage cut as part of a $1 billion five-year package of concessions in 2004. Delta has said a strike would put it out of business.
