Just gone. The Captain complained to everyone we could on the radio and in the gate house but to no avail.

But like you said KC10, but DALS has JFK and when the DALN crews start flying in there they'll realize why we want the place leveled. As to MSP I think it has something to do with the Delta-S metal only being allowed to fly out of a few gates in MSP. We're one airline, open up MSP. DTW has been really good so far although I think DTW ground has an attitude problem (even back in my Coex days we'd say that) and DTW I guess is like MSP but I haven't experienced any problems.
The gates the south crews park at in MSP are so jacked up. The rampers and such seem to want to ensure you know you're an outsider. Reminded me of working for Pinnacle- except now I don't have to sit there and take their crap.
