and in the end nwa doesn't matter. its daddy delta that will be deciding what is going on. and since they have recently also given us a 10 year contract to fly 900's i think they are happy with us too.
i will tell you what they aren't happy with. mesaba ground crews in msp and dtw. i love sending in delay reports that we couldn't get parked because the mesaba guys are having a pow wow in the break room and 20 minutes later they come out eating their pizza pockets and bluetooths in ear. what a joke. i am glad nwa has given us the evaluation sheets so we can hopefully get things fixed there.
I do have to agree with you there about rampers at MSP and DTW. They are pathetic, and move at a snail pace. They drive all of us nuts. But that is mainly NWA's fault. They are too cheap to pay decent wages and get enough people to cover the gates. I was in no way implying things are all rosy at Mesaba. No need to get into whose contract is more solid because in the end we are all pawns and no contract with NWA is worth the paper it is written on. Jut look at what happened to Mesaba 10 year contract to fly Avros with NWA.
