Unfortunately, for the next generation, ‘today’ are their glory days.

They will ‘never’ know the joys of flying in a half full (if that) 747 with a piano bar and the upstairs lounge.
Crab legs, and shrimp cocktail in the First Cabin.
Full ‘self serve’ buffet in the main cabin at the rear bulkhead.
Free booze and ‘everyone’ was pretty much friendly if not amiable.
I guess considering that I have experienced and enjoyed these amenities that I should not complain for the way the current situation is.
I foolishly postulated that the future would be ‘better’, not worse.
That is how rail and bus travel started; and has now deteriorated to mass transportation (except for the private room on AMTRAK).

It is what it is… :down:

Thank you for posting that link. It really got to me.

There is a special place in Hell for NWA management, and all their SCABS.

I wonder what the "honorable" think when they are called Scabs by default simply because they work for NWA?

Thanks Tech. I was happy to help be a part of that "once great" airline. Now they're a joke. Looks like the late 90's by the uniforms. The SCABS can have it all to themselves now. By the looks of the latest news articles, NWA is losing more than customers, flaps fairings are falling off. What next SCABBIES?

This video was actually produced by Northwest Airlines before the strike by AMFA. We were once a proud bunch.

Most of these jobs are now just simply gone. The few that are left at the hubs are held by scabs.
