Sickout costs TWA millions over Christmas holiday
Trans World Airlines faced hundreds of cancellations during a holiday weekend as flight attendants reportedly called in sick. About 200 flights were canceled from Thursday to Sunday at Lambert Airport in St. Louis, with 90 cancellations on Christmas Day. TWA blamed the sickout on contract talks, while the union denied orchestration. The airline spent millions aiding stranded travelers, including hotel rooms, meals, and rebooking, and may pursue legal action to recover costs.
