CHAOS is Coming to Northwest Airlines
Ominous-sounding marching music, scenes of flight attendants creating CHAOS, and a website that says "WE ARE READY" greeted Northwest Airlines this morning as the strike deadline grows significantly closer.  Today is the deadline.  At 10.01pm Eastern (7.01pm West Coast) flight attendants at the struggling bankrupt airline will officially begin their CHAOS.  The website says CHAOS is coming to an airport near you, will it be yours?  New York?  Detroit?  Memphis?  Minneapolis?  Seattle?  Boston?  Washington D.C.? 

The NWAAFA website reads:  The deadline comes after months of wrangling with Northwest management in United States Bankruptcy Court and two tentative agreements that failed to win flight attendant ratification. The rejected deals included cuts of up to 40 percent in pay and work rules along with the requirement that Flight Attendants spend 25 percent more time at work than under their previous contract.

Are you worried about the CHAOS that could be created starting tonight if the airline doesn't settle with the flight attendants?  How long do you think a strike would last?  Would you fly NWA if the flight attendants were striking?
