Northwest Airlines produced a booklet for laid-off workers advising them on how to save money. The suggestions included "buying jewelry at pawnshops, getting auto parts at junkyards and taking shorter showers."

As the article says, first the airline took away the workers' money, then their contract, and now their dignity.

I'm so proud they're Minnesota based.

I'll stick w/ Sun Country and AirTran.

Such a great business model! I hope no one else follows in their cheapskate footsteps.
