NW alert about delay, but airport says no?
I am sitting in the WC at LAX and I received a message from NWA.com on my way to the airport that NW330 was delayed from 10:43 to 10:58, with the arrival in DTW being 45 minutes late. (not good for my connection...)
Upon arrival at LAX, NW agent tells me that the flight still shows on time? Flight stats has it delayed until 11:05. NW ops at LAX advises that this is the origination point, and the a/c is here, so no delay.....
I guess we'll see who is correct. I'm guessing that I'll be re-booking my flight to AMS from DTW tonight.
FYI - at least 5 NW flights showing on the board as canceled.

Yep, left early , service was great. Connection in DTW was tight, I basically walked off one plane and onto the next. Service to AMS was also very friendly and I was happy with the food and drink options.
Considering the outrageous number of canceled NW flights the past couple of days, I consider my self lucky to have made it out!
I do hope NW can work everything out with the pilots. I am now Gold, with Platinum coming by November. I like the service, but the potential inconvenience of having my flights canceled frequently may be enough to push me to another carrier.
