Print and pass these out

There are some great flyers that some flyertalkers put together to help educate the masses on the screw job that JeffBob and others in DL management are doing to us:

www.dlsucks.com/nwa3flyers.pdf

Please print them off and place them in the inflight mags, airport lounges, and anywhere other passengers might read them. I have upcoming flights on NW, KL, Air Baltic, Wizz, and Germanwings and I will leave flyers everywhere I can. While most pax on the European LCC's would not be flying NW, a few will, and everyone who is educated helps the cause.

Also it would help to post links to them on every travel related BBS that you can.

I wish I could name all of those involved in putting these together to thank them, but I just came across the link and do not know specifically whom to thank. We need to put their handiwork to good use.

There is a grammatical error on the first page. Where the paragraph starts, "Here are some of the fees have to pay..."

I think it should read, "Here are some of the fees [I]you[I] have to pay..."

Okay, fixed.

Great points on the flyer, but if I were going to hand something out, I think a condensed version with everything on one page could be effective as well. If a FF doesn't see something that affects them on the first page, it may just end up getting tossed.

The problem with that is that you end up with a flier that is filled with a lot of facts, and your eyes will glaze over.

What I recommend, is finding one or two that represent what you dislike the most about the new changes, and hand them out.

Is there a reason the word "WorldPerks" is not used? The red box at the top of the first page would read better if it said "Worldperks."

No problem. Worldperks added.

While we've got you jumping, could you upload a PDF of just the "Something Stinks" flyer? Then I can have individual links to all 5 on The Blog. Thanks!

Heh! Would be amusing if you handed it one of the Veeps schlepping between hubs.

I'm on this like white on rice! In addition to the above distribution points you suggest, I am also leaving stacks of these in the six employee lunch rooms at my client in Seattle, where IT folks frequently have to travel to Atlanta. Muah-ha-ha-ha!!!
