The judge overseeing Northwest Airlines Corp.'s bankruptcy case granted another extension on Friday of a deadline for a pay-cut deal between the carrier and its pilots and flight attendants.
Judge Allan Gropper had given the unions and the airline until Friday to make a deal. The new deadline is Wednesday, said Professional Flight Attendants spokesman Peter Fiske.
Both sides reported progress but talks had not wrapped up when they met with Gropper on Friday. He is considering whether to allow Northwest to reject its union contracts with the two unions.
Pilot voting on whether to authorize a strike wraps up on Tuesday.
