Northwest Airlines Lost $88 Million in May
Struggling Northwest Airlines has posted a $88 million dollar loss for May.  The airline has been struggling of late as they have scored significantly below other airlines in a passenger survey, have been trying to rid themselves of massive debt loads and have had long and larborous battles with their employees over wage and benefit cuts.  One bright spot, the loss is not as large as some of the other airlines that have been in similar positions.  However, if airlines can't make money in the heavily traveled summer season, airline's can't make money at all.
