Ticket to Ride
The Bankruptcy Court was supposed to rule last Friday on whether Northwest Airlines could escape their current labor contracts with the pilots and flight attendants. Then it was supposed to be today. Now it's next Wednesday.
I don't know know whether it will be a lock-out, a crippling strike, or outright liquidation, but I can confidently predict Northwest will cease operations at exactly 5:01 pm CST on Friday, March 17. This is because we hold tickets to fly south the next day. The travel gnomes will time this to make re-scheduling nearly impossible and/or very expensive.
Even if we should get on board, I'll want to check the fuel gauges before take-off.
