Pilots, baggage handlers, and flight attendants have objected to part of Northwest Airlines reorganization that will give nearly five percent of the company to 400 top executives. The three unions that represent those workers protested the move suggesting it would be too costly for the airline as it attempts to lift off from bankruptcy. The flight attendants are currently voting on a new contract that would lock in pay cuts for four years. They need to approve the contract if the union wishes to have a stake in the reorganization.
