AIRLINES: NWA wins time on attendants pact
Detroit Free Press, February 10, 2006

A federal judge authorized Northwest Airlines Inc. to continue paying its flight attendants under the terms of a temporary contract reached in November, saying an extension will help the parties reach a long-term deal. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Allan Gropper granted the extension over objections from the union representing the flight attendants, which opposed the relief saying Northwest was negotiating a long-term contract in bad faith. The temporary agreement was set to expire Monday. "The court believes an extension of the interim relief will facilitate the current negotiations and lead to a resolution," Gropper said at a hearing in New York.

The Northwest Airlines pilots union is prepared to vote on a possible strike, which they are expected to approve overwhelmingly, 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has learned. A strike could begin as early as Tuesday, Feb. 28.

If the union and the Eagan-based airline do not agree on a contract between now and next Friday, a judge could rule that pilots are forced to take concessions.

If the pilots are forced to take concessions, then the pilots are expected to strike, 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has learned. The airline will likely argue that the strike is illegal. Stay with 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS and KSTP.com for continuing updates on this story. ..................
