DTW Closing?

[WMUSIGPI]

It's not closing. They are moving it to Florida for the winter in an effort to improve on time stats.

Impossible, Delta would never allow it so close to "Mecca" and even if they did they'd just double the number of flights scheduled to arrive and depart at the same time and screw it all up anyway.

Heard a rumor that DTW is closing next year. Supposedly someone by the name of MR said something to that effect.

And your current position is Ramp? Why are you on a pilot forum? What year did you drop out of high school?

Where in Florida? MCO? Because that would be great for a lot of us commuters.

Comair's base at DTW will close in 2011 according to a reputable source. Why have a base with so few 50-seaters there. Also, the reputable source said our 70s are going away too. My guess is SkyWest and guess what, we aren't going with the airplanes. No, I used to work as a paralegal but lost most of my intelligence after I began with Comair serving snacks and drinks for 8 years. I suspect I will go back to that profession unless my only option is to work in a kitchen. I'd like to work in my own kitchen. Maybe I'll start my own cake decorating business. You guys think you know so much, but you know very little.

I wrote ramp to throw you idiots off.

Exactly, thank you.

with that much of a reduction of crj-100/200s, do you really expect them to keep it open?

 

[tiffanytaylor]

f*** YOU

Yep they're going to replace the airport with a new mixed residential / commercial area. Mall, houses, etc.

Everyone will drive to TOL or FNT if they need to fly.

Tiffany,

Comair will likely close both its bases before long. Hope the new business goes well...

I've been hearing this as well.

 

[COOPERVANE]

Wow guys...relax! Any reason to be such an a$$? I could be wrong, but Tiffany comes across as exactly the person she claims to be. Do you feel better about yourselves somehow by raking Tiffany over the coals?

Some of you guys treat her like she is some sort of flamebaiter. Did I miss some back history here?

A little courtesy does not seem too much to ask for someone who comes on here and asks a "naive" (to you) question.

Some peoples responses make them sound bitter, petty, and pretty pathetic.

If a model helicopter is put on a turntable will it liftoff?

Which direction is the turntable spinning? Who made the helicopter?

 

[Max Q]

Is the helicopter African or European?

:laugh: LOL!

 

[Lynxman]

Same direction of the helicopter, and get this its Russian made. Discuss...
