NWA 'insensitive' tips for saving cash


Northwest pulls 'insensitive' tips for saving cash
Monterey County Herald By JEWEL GOPWANI
August 17, 2006

All the employees made these tremendous sacrifices and they come out with condescending material like this. Imagine that you expect to be laid off next month and you're fretting about how you'll make ends meet.

Then your employer hands you a list of money-saving tips like pulling items out of the trash and taking shorter showers. That was the case at Northwest Airlines for about a week.

The tips angered many more Northwest workers, who have taken steep pay and benefit cuts, and saw the list on the company's employee Web site.

Disney Cruise Interline discounts

Interline Blog: Home

Home
Disney Cruise Line just released some great Interline discounts for September & October. The pricing has not been this low since they first launch the product. I remember, I was there and one of the first one to get on. I loved the cruise and at that time, they were only doing 3 and 4 night cruises....

What to do? So I booked two cruises back to back and made my own 7 night cruise.

The Disney Magic is doing the 7 night Eastern or Western Cruise Interline rates- Inside room $479 | Outside $549, a really great deal! (http://www.InterlineRates.com)
