Preparations for the exchange of Contract 2026 openers next April continue. The Delta Pilot Contract Comparison is the second in a series of educational documents that pilots will receive. This resource provides a comparison of the Delta pilots’ PWA versus our peers. Click on the image below to read this comprehensive comparison. It is also available in the ALPA Contract 2026 folder on your iPad.

We are also pleased to announce the Contract 2026 microsite is now live. It will be a one-stop shop for all information and communications related to contract negotiations.

• In a few weeks, the Negotiating Committee will launch the Contract Survey. This survey provides the means for every Delta pilot to influence the priorities for our next contract. 
• In late 2025/early 2026, your elected representatives will provide direction to the Negotiating Committee based on pilot feedback. This direction guides the Negotiating Committee’s priorities throughout the entire Section 6 process.

Stay informed as this important process begins. Your engagement provides your elected representatives with the input needed to craft an opener that reflects the pilot group’s priorities.
