Reply #1: Northwest Airlines to outsource thousands of flight attendant jobs [View All]

[Bluebear]

NEW YORK, NY- A published report says Northwest Airlines, in bankruptcy protection, is outsourcing some positions held by senior flight attendants on coveted international routes.

That's according to the Wall Street Journal.

The airline recently told a bankruptcy judge that it would seek to cancel labor agreements if unions don't agree to new cost-savings demands.

They are replacing U.S. flight attendants with freshly-trained and hired, inexperienced, unscreened foreign nationals from India and China. It's not just manufacturing jobs at stake.
