Yes they are, but not all airlines are paying high Diesel fuel prices to bus their passengers home. Anyone know how many buses are needed to bus 189 nwa passengers?

<quoted text>FW, part of the Northwest Airlines 'goodwill'( a new term for cost savings write-downs ) Budget is for the Retainer Fees, paid to the Greyhound Corp. to keep their flying customers moving, by land, sea, or air; not necessarily in that order.. that is, providing those Expensive Law Firms, haven't taken Dougy to the Cleaners, per say!!

Isn't it amazing that no other airline has ever had to bus passengers to their destination after a diversion. You would think that would have happened sometime, but I guess not or you would have mentioned it. Hey Googs, by the way, did you see the news reports about Obama visiting Israel and wearing a yarmulke? Kind of funny for a Muslim do do that isn't it?

<quoted text>The first part is Yes, NWA holds the world record for bus transportation for distressed travelers; the second part is Barack Hussien O'Bama wearing a YARMULKE', whatever that is, he sure as hell is not going to wear Muslim dress gear like O'Sama Bin Laden; the Israelies do have restrictions on Visitors who use their Political Clout to get a stage (worldwide) for a Photo-Op and how they appear to the People of Israel.. Any More Stupid Questions??

It could also mean that NWA was one of the few airlines that accommodated the pax as others just left thew waiting in the terminal or sitting outside waiting for a travel voucher to get to the nearest hup or spoke.
Come on guys, every time NW has a negative story, you are on it like white on rice. But SWA gets caught REDHANDED skimping on maintenance checks and not a peep out of you. Why is that?
This is why your posts hold NO credibility whatsoever.
If you want to be a reporter, you have to be unbiased. That's not the case here. The case here is angry ex-employees who just live their lives to vent at people who work hard and try to feed their families.

<quoted text>SNSD, it's obvious to me that you were never burned by NWA, I was in the Atlanta Tech Ops. when Andy Nobody, closed it, like many others in MSP with closure of Jobs and destruction of Hangers, like many Out Station Outsourcing Jobs gone By-By, like the look on your confused NWA face when Dougy ( probably King Richard ), tells you and many others, Your Services Are No Longer Needed, but you can apply for Un-Employment Insurance, Maybe? Will NWA ever face the FAA, Oberstars Committee, the Multiple Hearings Congress will someday have on their Bleak Maintenace Performance, such as the SWA (LUV) fiasco; let's hope so .. as far as credibility of what we have to say on this thread, I could care less what you think, what ONG thinks, what Andy Roberts or any other Mis-Management Thug thinks.. If this Miraculous DAL/NWA Merger/Acquistion FAILS, then NWA will most likely go Chap.7/Liquidation, like PRONTO.. Any More Stupid Questions, baggage handler?

Not a baggage handler but what problem do you have with that group?
I guess that may be why the IAM did not honor? Stupidity on the IAM's part but that just shows the mentality of union folks like you. Me Me Me.
Pay those monkey throwing baggage handlers minimum wage. We deserve $40+ an hour and want "a bigger piece of the pie" Am I wrong?
Nice to see your true colors finally coming out. Validates what I continue to say: you brought your own destruction. Live with it. It's long over and life goes on.

<quoted text>I don't particularly have a problem with Baggage Handlers, but you run your mouth so much about everybody else who Hates this Dysfunctional Company run by Idiots and refuse to Identify who the hell you are, I figured you just threw bags? King Richard already has the IAM in his cross-hairs for his Non-Union Airline, and already has those jobs Outsourced at Delta.. You say We (AMFA) brought on our own Destruction, it's more like Steenland destroyed a once proud Airline, by destroying the Loyalty & Pride of his Employees.. If your favorite Auto Mechanic is worth $50+ an hour to work on your car, then a FAA License A&P Mechanic is deffinately worth $40+ a hr. to work on your Hi-Tech Jet.. Got any more smartaleck answers?
