O.K., the mechanics are on strike, NW is still flying, can we get back to important subjects like, "Which vodka do you prefer?". No really, things appear to be better than could be expected, raise one for all those folks working for and flying Northwest. As for the mechanics, dum de dum dumb........

Your friends will make the wedding
You'll make it to Amsterdam or Tokyo
Your award ticket is still good
They'll be some bumps
But we'll all see a healthier airline
