Northwest Airlines pulls pretzels from domestic flights

[Ty Webb]

Now NWA will only lose $498 million next quarter instead of $500 million.

Exactly right. What kind of horse's ass made this decision, anyway?


At AirTran, our F/A's already provide more cabin service on short flights than DAL, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised . . . . . Now AirTran's inflight service will be better than NWA's, too (shudder).

Try it yourself- ride on DAL from ATL to any city less than an hour away, and you'll see AirTran F/A's doing full service, while some DAL F/A's are doing "FAst Break Service" followed by crossword puzzles.

And that $2 million savings will go toward retention bonuses whenever this ship starts to sink...

Ha ha.....no doubt

As long as there are so many people willing to fly airplanes for such little compensation and airlines are allowed to operate in bankruptcy for years, you will see airlines doing anything to save $$$. Even if it seems a little too much. Although this pretzel thing is worth a millioin $$ or so I'll guess.. I just show up a little early and raid the crew meal trays and take the potato chips on each setup . Survivor mode....

Survivor mode!?!,,,CA at NWA?,,,bro I gotta show you how to manage your money better!
