Link to it? Fine. Page 16 of this very thread...9:30am yesterday. You posted a hilariously overblown diatribe to the effect that you were finished flying NW since you wouldn't be crossing any picket lines:
Bye bye NWA...And bye bye to my NW status, because I won't be able to make it this year. I won't cross a picket line. And frankly, shame on the NW FA's and pilots for doing so.
Not long after you posted that (though with all the combined threads it's a few pages further along...page 27 at 1:47pm) a very observant soul posted something you'd already
written in another thread.
I am silver elite, mostly from crediting Alaska Airlines miles to NWA, so haven't actually flown them much. Last week I did SEA-MEM-GNV and the plane had mechanical problems that made me miss my connection and as a result I had a 6 hr wait in the airport for the next flight to MEM-GNV.
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?
Also, what is the upgrade precentage for a silver? I am AA platinum (already requalified for the year). Wondering if I should move to NWA for the rest of the year since unlikely to hit EXP on AA. Not if I will have lots of delays though. I HATE waiting in airports more than just about anything. I rarely get delayed with AA.
So yesterday we have you stomping your feet and throwing a tantrum...but approx. 3 weeks ago we have you ticked at the behaviour of the mechanics, revealing that your status on NWA is due only to flying Alaskan Airlines and that in fact you rarely fly NWA at all.
You can try to paint it any way you'd like...say that you were just exaggerating. But the reality is that you're a liar, as proven by your posts. In fact, given that you yourself have written that you rarely fly NWA and will definintely not be flying them during the strike...why the heck are you even concering yourself with the goings-on here?
BTW...I used to live in St. Louis. I notice that you're an AA platinum. I have some friends that used to work for TWA/AA. I think they'd be pretty puzzled with your decision to blast NW management and not support NWA as some kind of show of union support, yet to go ahead and fly AA.
