Gate Agent was dressed like a Hooker
DTW - CHS last night, 9pm: This one was a peach. She had poofy fake blond hair, (big), black roots really visible. Tight blue jean jacket covered her uniform, ID was clipped to her belt, so name wasn't visible. Belt buckle huge and flashy. Pants were ultra tight, way too low on the hips, and the heels were about 4". I swear she looked like a cheap hooker. She shuffled around (due to the tight pants and heels) like the Secretary Mrs. Wiggins (Carol Burnett character) way back when. Oh, and add the chomping of the gum, and you get the whole picture.
To top it off, when she was bored waiting to board the passengers, she took off to and "took the load off" over on the other side of the concourse, in full view, and hung out in a row of empty seats at an unused gate.
Do they have absolutely no standards anymore? This one was an absolute disgrace.

Perhaps another NWA marketing intiative to follow up on the overwhelming success of Coach Choice (SM)? "In select markets, trained gate agents will be replaced with an 'entertainment coordinator' to further complicate your overall NWA travel experience"...

Are you sure you weren't in PAR? I was there with my sister-in-law a while back, and while I always appreciate local customs and charm, she ultimately sputtered about the local metro riders, shopkeepers, schoolgirls, and mothers pushing strollers in the parks:
"And they all dress like whores!"

What, you didn't consider it was just another way for NW to boost revenues?

Have you written NWA about it yet, or just complained about it on FT?
I think this is the sort of thing that doesn't really belong here. Nothing good can come from it (and nothing has so far in this thread). Just email/write NWA and don't waste your time posting this kind of junk on FT.

hmm...NW has a strange sense of pre-flight entertainment...but i do agree that the NW employees should be allowed to have some other source of income since they're paid like crap.

I know exactly who you mean. I fly through DTW a lot and I see her all the time! The first time I saw her, I had the same reaction as you.
