I jumpseated Anchorage-MSP-Tampa the other day on Northwest. I could not have been treated any better by all involved in my journey. Thanks.
I'm really not sure what "trash" he was referring to unless it was their union-busting management.
I'm guessing the original poster is an American Airlines pilot (??). Going out on a limb, if he was referring to the NWA pilots as trash I would beg to differ.
