I think it is just a shame that Northwest has taken advantage of this state so badly and eliminated 90 percent of our jobs, and yet the state cannot acknowledge this and help its own citizens.
Looking back, the strike did not have the effect we wanted it to. It's evident, because Northwest is still flying.
The system that Northwest has in place can't last forever. They're falling down. No matter what they report they are falling down on the repair of the aircraft and, at some point, it's going to have to come to an end and we're going to have to go back into work.
Northwest is still obligated to negotiate with us. We can file motions at bankruptcy hearings. We're still in the mix; that's what this says.
