NWAirlink MSN-MSP

Flight 3663 on Nov 11th. Its flights like this one that makes me happy to longer be in the airline business.

Our 12pm departure tookoff at 115pm.

Good plane at the gate. Good weather on both ends. NO CREW.

And yeah, I missed my connection and had to wait 3 hours for the next flight.

However, the CRJ900 is a nice ride.

Wow, you should call the local news. A FLIGHT WAS LATE!!!!

Better get used to this situation.

Why no crew? Were they late showing because of rest? Did the hotel van run late? Were they deadheading in from somewhere? Did one of them get sick? Did they get stuck in a line at security? Did they have to go take a drug or alcohol test?

Why don't you go whine on A.net, you crybaby.

 

[LogbookSlave]

Don't they have forums for whatever job it is you have now? Try going there to b!tch about your HORRENDOUS (sarcasm) airline experience.

Here's a news flash. Pay 10 bucks more for your ticket and then maybe we'll be on time Or better yet pay the 25 bucks and take Grey Hound to MSP.

Hey, if you miss the 12pm to MSN, you can always wait for the 1215. Afterall, we are all just a bunch of glorified bus drivers. Geeesh, are you going to threaten to go to ANOTHER airline that IS NEVER late? Like that "threat" has never been used before.

If I had a dollar for every entitled pax that felt the need to gripe to me personally as if he is the representative for all the pax on that plane just because we were delayed an hour or so, I'd be able to leave the industry tomorrow and never work again. Delays usually happen for legit reasons, and if they aren't legit or hamper the pax unneccesarily, then of course reparations are in order, but an hour late? Geesh. Well, okay, maybe a 5$ coupon to Burger King or something.

This reminds me of the time we had to shut one down just after takeoff and, GASP, we had to return to the airport. Sure enough, some entitled idiot felt the need to come up to us and bitch about how we ruined his day and that there is always maintenance at the destination airport and that our mechanical problems weren't his problems, yada yada (I had drifted out of the conversation by that point)...

Jeez... smells like a troll here. All it takes is looking at nwa.com and seeing this person is a bit out of line. 3663 left MSN 46 min late due to "late inbound aircraft" and it arrived in MSP 48 min late at 206pm. Wahh... less than an hour late. And how is this the crews fault?

He said it "took off at 1:15" which may be accurate. I'm guessing there are lines for take off at a big international airport like MSP. But even if the aircraft did leave the gate one hour and fifteen minutes late I don't think it deserves it's own thread.

 

[flap operator]

You're right... who cares. Why am I even replying.

 

[profit]

What? A pilot shortage complicated by losing 350+ pilots during a FAKE BANKRUPTCY? Who woulda thunk it!

Plane arrived at 1100am. The crew flew in on another flight, arriving at 1215pm (15 minutes after departure). Boarded and closed the door at 1245pm. Did not push until 104pm. The ground crew was busy pushing the 100pm flight. We took off at 115pm.

No announcements from the gate agents about any delays.

Got into the gate at 210pm. Took 10 minutes to get my gate-checked bag (now its 220pm) flight leaves at 230pm.

As I said, I am so happy to not have to deal with these airline (employees), (schedulers, gate agents, rampers) on a daily basis.

Please somebody stop this thread!

You are so happy to be out of the airline business that you come back to flightinfo and post... Have fun in your cubicle or kissing rear in the sales field. Jerkoff.

.....

However, the CRJ900 is a nice ride.

I rode on a Mesa-900 once CLT(or ORF?)-ATL, thought it was a pretty rough seating arrangement in the back (real hard seats, no room).....couldn't wait to get off it.....If its going to be a regional jet you can give me one of those E-175's to ride on, better than any of the mainline jets (73's, 88's, etc) flying around today as far as I can tell (comfort wise)..!
