Yea, this opens alot of options for connecting. And even double connecting should it get you where you&#39;re going.

Maybe I&#39;ll bump into you in MSP, or maybe fight you for the last seat.(You win)

One question though. This is for coach travel. Should a flight have 0 in Y, and say 3 in F, I&#39;m the only one left. Would it be at all possible to get the F seat? could they bump a rev pax to F and I get Y? would they leave me at the gate to try for the next flight? I certainly hope for 1 of the 2 former, but perhaps you could enlighten me. Thanks

Honestly? If an elite doesn&#39;t grab it and you&#39;re even remotely human to the gate attendant, you may very well get the F class...

I was kind of figuring that, but wasnt&#39; sure. I know for DL, we get F free if available. So honestly, if space available, I&#39;d probably board an OAL emp in F. But seeing as though NW emp must pay for F, I figure they&#39;d be less likely to just give you F, even in that situation.

Collectively, how do most NW employees feel about the merger? I was talking to a NW CSA in SFO, and he was all for it. But I&#39;ve heard some people really complaining, especially the union vs non-union thing. I wonder if a gate agent might not clear you just to try to prove some union point. I&#39;ve seen some pretty shady things supported by unions, and that is my issue with them. They do serve a purpose, but that shady, company sabotage style stuff is just BS, and I could see possible issues with travel on NW if you&#39;ve got a diehard NW gate agent that wishes nothing more than to see DL go away.

Hopefully that will never be an issue for a single person.

Perhaps I&#39;ll be bugging you 3x a week to check loads for me. Matter of fact, whadaya got 5/6 MDT-DTW and back say around 5PM? Any Deisel 9s?

Thanks

Five to choose from - Most CRJ&#39;s - one embracer flight, one DC9 - all look REALLY nice on the out, return not bad.

The D flights leaves DTW TO MDT at around 2P and returns around 4 -

Funny enough, I&#39;ll be in DTW on the 6th in the AM - I get there PROBABLY around 930 and I&#39;m meeting a freind around 3PM before buggering off to YWG - maybe we should arrange to say hi?

PS - 6:25PM is the closest return, but it&#39;s pretty up there - the 9:30 looks like less than half.
