Northwest Airlines pilots stay home; 200 flights dropped

Northwest Airlines' cancellations continued Sunday, with more than 200 flights dropped as pilots stayed home, saying they were pushed to the limit of hours they are allowed to fly each month.


The airline blamed the pilots, who in turn blamed the airline for failing to address staff shortfalls


Northwest, which emerged from bankruptcy reorganization in May, canceled 514 flights Friday through Sunday evening.


Northwest canceled more than 2,000 flights in June, many of them toward the end of the month.
