3. "Ticked me off because it was the first flight of the day for NWA out of SEA that morning. Plane had spent the night in the hanger. Shouldn't they have used all those hours to check the plane? Now I know mechanical problems happen, but during my 6 hr delay in Memphis I talked to at least 3 other people who were also stuck there because of mechanical problems with other flights that day. Now I see a poster saying his Mom is stuck tonight on a mechanical delay.

I was thinking of flying NWA more but do they always have these kind of problems with their planes? "

4. "Yeah, I got the email about the possible strike and saw others commenting on that here, but YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! What in the world do the mechanics think they have to gain by making the airline go broke? That's the stupiest labor tactic I have ever heard of!"
