Chicago Tribune, Saturday, March 10
Seeking to head-off another summer of airline disruptions, President
Bush on Friday turned to a rarely used chapter of the Railway Labor
Act that governs labor relations in the railroad and airline industry
to prevent a strike by Northwest Airline mechanics for at least 60
days.  Labor expert David Walsh (management) said Bush's action is
unique because of union politics involving AMFA, which is seeking to
replace the union now representing mechanics and United and American.

As the summer travel season gets underway, the U.S. Senate is
expected to take up the Airline Customer Service Improvement Act,
which would codify many of the airlines' pledges to do better in
reducing delays, notifying passengers about problems, and handling
baggage-promises made two years ago in an effort to head off similar
federal legislation.  Quotes James Brock (economics) who, along with
many other analysts, believe that unless the government can encourage
greater competition, no amount of legislation or pledges of goodwill
will solve the current crush in the skies.
