hey guys, since you are doing quite a bit of DTW flying going forward, I was going to mention that when you pull into the B gates if you pull all the way forward to the zipper road most planes can get by behind you without turning to the left. I have noticed a lot of comair and freedom planes just turn into the gate and stop well short of the zipper road which is fine, but it creates a backup of planes that can't get by and then DTW ground ends up getting ****ed. Thanks!.

It's not a matter of waiting, even with block or better at Mesaba. It's about backing up onto the taxiways and listening to ground complain and have a meltdown. There is TONS of taxi space on the "odd" side in the alley, so if there is room, ramp control will give us clearance to move around whoever is waiting, so generally, it's not a big deal. The problem is even worse on the "even" side of B/C where taxiway K parallels the concourse.

Maybe your management should get in touch with our management about these issues.

I hate to say get used to it. DTW ramp and gate agents suck. I hope Delta does something about it though. Ramp needs a big improvement and the gate agents need a huge attitude adjustment.

Well, then we might as well move Detroit out of Detroit. It wasn't a Mesaba thing and now it's not a Regional Elite thing. IT'S A DETROIT THING! By the way, they're not ALL bad. As usual, it's the bad apples that spoil it for everyone.
Bubba - why in the world would the rampers have any involvement in your maintenance/parts issues?

Probably a part ferried/carried aboard a flight in the cargo compartment for a stranded plane. Rampers unload the cargo and send the part to baggage claim or just drop it into a cart and don't take it anywhere.
