NWA Pilots prepared to strike; Flight Attendants reach deal

NWA Flight Attendants reached a deal with the airline but the negotiation with the pilots will determine whether the airline survives bankruptcy. The pilots voted overwhelmingly to strike if a federal judge voids their contract and allows Northwest to impose cuts. Northwest argues that it would be illegal for the pilots to strike while the airline is in bankruptcy and is prepared to file a motion to stop it. Most experts believe that a pilots strike will permanently ground Northwest. The state and city of Duluth would also be out of millions of dollars that it loaned to Northwest.
