March 21st Bankruptcy Hearing
Motion for Relief 1113 Order/ $1.1 Billion Equity Claim
 
On Wednesday March 21, 2007 continuing arguments on our Motion for Relief from the 1113 Order and arguments for our $1.1 billion Proof of Claim will be heard before Judge Gropper, in New York.
 
The 1113 Order allowed Northwest to impose the Terms and Conditions of Employment that we now work under. AFA’s  $1.1 billion claim against NWA is for the full value of the concessions incurred by the company’s abrogation of our contract.
 
The rulings in these cases do not take place in a vacuum and it is extremely important that NWA flight attendants attend this hearing. Our goal is to fill the courtroom with a sea of flight attendants, in uniform, so that Judge Gropper can see the faces of those affected by his decisions.
 
If you are planning to attend the hearing and would like to be put in contact with other flight attendants, in order to share hotel expenses, Please contact Member Mobilization at 1-866-795-4232, press 4 for the CHAOS office or call Todd Hurlbut at 517-990-5655.
