2 thingz . . .
1) I know that sometimes when you start a new thread, especially when it's a complaint situation, you can get all welled up with feelings and unintentionally exaggerate a little, as in your "nightmare" description in the title. I posted once in the NW forum that after being stuck in DTW for hours and hours due to flight problems, that I yelled something at an Elite Line rep. - - It was a figure of speech - - I was welled up with emotions when I was writing it - - I didn't LITERALLY yell at the agent. Well, I got all jumped on from a very prominent (but not necessarily well-liked) frequent NW participant. So, after some banter back and forth about what I did or didn't do, I just stopped talking about it. My point is, I'm sure you were upset, but didn't mean the word NIGHTMARE literally.
