Nu guy,
You still don't get it
Northwest is not trying to be a low cost carrier, they just want you to take paycuts. What has your management done that is similar to a Low cost carrier?
Nothing? Quit comparing apples and oranges.
Let's see if you are smart enough to figure out which airlines run similar to yours?
Swa, Jet Blue, Frontier?
Nope try these:
United- added more regional jets
Delta- added more regional jets
USAir- added more regional jets
Continental- added more regional jets
America West- added more regional jets
American- added more regional jets
Northwest- added more reginal jets
Your buisness man is going to take the "Mankato Meteor" to Minneapolis. But he is going to get on a regional jet down to New Orleans for $168, and not mess with the extra stop in ATL.
All we can hope for now is that you are flying it and not me.
