Did you notice the whole in the wall there at the gate, that was me.
The ramper parked us on the 90 line and not the 88, the Captain thought it was wrong but you kind of have to trust the ramper. Sure enough it was wrong so the other rampers were mad at the marshaller. They tried to hook up a tug but ended up putting the tug through the wall.
Funny I noticed that hole last time I was there!
As for the reason we get treated like red headed step children at our gate could be that we are FDAL and they are revolting towards us. I would say its a union thing but who knows. They most certainly are unmotivated lazy uncooperative people working our flights.
Calling does absolutely know good, and I doubt the COR that are piling up will do any good either...
Oh well, just avoid DTW when able.
