Asiana Airlines counts cost as strike heads into fifth day

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - A pilots' strike at Asiana Airlines, South Korea's number two carrier, stretched into a fifth day Thursday after talks between management and union leaders failed to resolve their differences and the airline was forced to cancel more flights. 

Unionised pilots walked off the job Sunday for the second time in less than two weeks, demanding more rest days, a greater say in management decisions and an increase in the retirement age to 60 from 55.
