    Northwest to Park More Planes Than Originally Planned

    Northwest has announced it will ground more aircraft than originally announced in April, when they said they would decrease capacity by 7% this year. That number has been increased to 9.5%, with 14 757s and Airbuses being added to the phase outs. They also detailed that they would only have 61 DC-9s in service by year's end, down from 94 on Jan. 1.

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
