Pilots at Delta Air Lines have picketed at many of the airline’s domestic hubs in recent weeks, citing what they describe as overly-fatiguing flying schedules.

United and Delta are both looking to acquire U.S.-South Africa frequencies, which are limited under the current air services agreement between the countries.
United hopes to begin flying between Washington and Cape Town from November but will face competition for the available weekly frequencies under the US-South Africa air services agreement.
