Northwest Airlines, in an attempt to wreck as many plans of business and vacation travelers as possible, began arbitrarily canceling flights days before their scheduled departure time.
"It's not enough to be profitable, we have to cause as much angst and discomfort to the local air traveler as we can" Jan Pullman, a spokesman for the airline said.
The airline who is just emerging from bankruptcy, is in the middle of rolling out plans that include in-flight pay toilets, and replacing the seats in coach with overhead hand straps.
