Thanks to you all for such great information
Hi.
I don't post often here as I haven't shared a lot of the same experiences as many of you have. And that is simply because I don't travel nearly as much as I used to and have just became an Silver/Tin elite member. But, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for posting such great information and tips. I just took my first trip this past weekend as a Silver Elite member and used things like ITN to follow available seats, who to call for small problems, etc. I flew ORD-DTW-SEA-MSP-SEA and only missed being upgraded on the DTW-SEA leg and that was because it was a A320. But, 5C on the 320 is a great seat. A Kudos to NW as well for the free upgrades and preferred seating. They are simply wonderful considerations and rewards for a lot of time in middle seat of many flights.

I definitely second that.
You will find that FTs in the NW board are generally much happier than those in the CO/DL board. People there routinely make fun of the respective CEO of the airlines as some sort of fashion

Oh that's right, he's off to the air cargo market now, does that now mean "the world not on time", "When you positively dont need it tomorrow"

I remember vividly once on the CO board, there was a huge debate about CO CEO Mr. B. Gordon's home address and how a petition could be dropped in his mailbox
If you do a search "GORDO", you will likely find hundreds of results, especially in the archieves
