I've seen more than one Delta main liner do the Exact same thing.
Were you born with inertial navigation in your brain making you superior to all??? Glad to see you find comedy in guys doing the best they can.
Come on, DTW isn't bad at all. And the airport looks exactly the right way on the charts. At least ours do. I can't tell you how many times we've been 5 or 6 for takeoff and tower is screaming at GoJet to get their attention only to find out they weren't on any DTW frequency for the previous 10 minutes. I've been in DTW for 7 years and haven't seen anyone have as much trouble as GoJet, although I did witness a 777 almost cruise right over 22L on 9L while trying to get to the gate; figure that one out. Too many breadsticks...
Its not a generalization if its true. Just like our MEC made it near impossible for anyone else to negotiate a good contract.
