The flight attendants strike was the largest against an airline since Machinists struck the now-defunct Eastern Airlines in 1989. The pilots union estimated only 10 to 15 percent of Ameri can's passenger flights operated Thursday. Pilot union president Rich LaVoy said the flight atten dants "have effectively shut down the passenger revenue ca pability' of American Airlines." Thousands of passengers at American's main hubs in Chicago and Dallas-Fort Worth were shuf fled to other airlines, particularly United and Delta, or put on later American flights. United handled about 8,000 displaced American passengers on Thursday in Chica go, where both airlines operate hubs. The strike ended years of rela tive labor peace at the nation's biggest airlines. Executives at American and United airlines have been pushing for labor cost reductions, while unions say the airlines' troubles are in how man agers operate the systems. NAFTA Continued from Page 1 which intensely lobbied for NAFTA. Wolff and the city's powerful business community lobbied for the free trade agreement for three years in speeches, letter-writing and trips to Washington. The San Antonio Chamber of Commerce says there are 190 lo cal businesses — employing 65,000 local workers — that al ready do some type of business in Mexico. There are an estimated 35 Mexican companies operating in San Antonio. Chamber chairman A1 Mar- tinez-Fonts Jr. predicts those numbers will grow. NAFTA supporters contend San Antonio, a city of 1 million people, is uniquely positioned to benefit from the trade agreement because of its location near the center of the continent and 150 miles from the Mexican border, the convergence here of two in terstate highways and the city's close ties with Mexico. "We've had this long, long his tory of strong relations with Mex ico — cultural relationships, busi ness relationships, family rela tionships/’ Wolff said.
