NEWS: Aloha Airlines Closes the Week on a High Note

Aloha Airlines may be fighting through bankruptcy but they managed some pretty good progress this week. Both the mechanic's union and the flight attendant's union ratified new deals with the airline today. The flight attendant deal will run through Feb 2007 while the mechanics have a five year agreement. Best of all airline management was able to reach these agreements without having to throw the threat bankruptcy court intervention at the unions.

Working out deals with the unions quickly and without raising tensions is a good thing. Aloha needs to get on with the business of trying to figure out what they want to be when they grow up and how they're going to pay for it.
