Possible Northwest Action

in case of more labor trouble.
Nepal's state-run airline has confirmed that it sacrificed two goats to appease a Hindu god, following technical problems with one of its aircraft.

Nepal Airlines said the animals were slaughtered in front of the plane - a Boeing 757 - at Kathmandu airport.

According to the BBC, this was to help a plane with chronic mechanical problems. I'm not sure if a goat would be the best option here or not. Possibly a burnt offering of lutefisk would be better.

Update: Shouldn't they at least sacrifice an opossum when they reopen the runway?
