i'm not faulting President W.

but i am faulting the politicians who intervene in matter which they should not. of course both sides at NW seem happy with their contract. because the president intervened, both sides had a scapegoat to blame for not getting everything they wanted. but i'll make the case that the contact is more expensive than it would have been had there been no interference. and NW would be in a better financial position right now had they been able to negotiate a contract that was able to address business issues better. i think NW currently needs to fill 90% of all seats just to break even?
