Airline strike affects five companies

A major airline strike involving 35,000 machinists has shut down five major carriers, affecting 60% of passenger service and 70% of air mail. The strike has led to empty terminals and canceled flights to numerous cities. The government has intervened in negotiations, but progress is slow. Meanwhile, American Airlines, not affected by the strike, is experiencing record passenger loads, though with significant delays. The strike's impact is severe, leaving many cities without air service.
