Representatives of striking flight attendants and TWA held a nine-hour bargaining session in New York, the longest since the walkout began, and the union offered a total of $76.5 million in concessions to end the dispute, a union negotiator said. TWA had no comment and no new session was announced, said Cynthia deFigueiredo, a member of the team representing the Independent Federation of Flight Attendants. The airline continues to demand a 22% wage reduction and rule changes to save the airline $88 million.
