hell
It would be a hell of an airline,
assumption attention detroit fair labor nobody northwest patience pay people rely tired
People are tired of Northwest and their labor problems. Customers' patience is at end. It's a fair assumption to make that if so many people in Detroit didn't have to rely on Northwest to fly, nobody would pay attention to them at all.
buy
Does Continental want to buy United? I don't know. I don't see it.
along key past
Continental did not go along in the past. The key is, will they go along this time? For the passenger, it's something they have been getting free, technically, that they shouldn't have been all this time.
airline fly
We say we'll never fly that airline again, and the first sale, we're there. We're terrible.
clients extra pay
We have clients who are very finicky about their seats. I think they'll pay that extra $15.
best cold gets hard
Who gets the best deal? You know, there is no hard cold result.
headed hit northwest paul plane reality return
If a Northwest plane headed to Minot has to return to Minneapolis-St. Paul and an American plane has to return to Dallas, which one will hit the (local) news? That's the reality Northwest has to handle.
company foolish gets hurts people
I would be foolish to say there aren't people who are booking away because of the rhetoric. As it gets louder, it hurts the company more.
fly fuel kidding
If they think they can fly through this (high fuel costs) they're kidding themselves.
cannot carriers offer offset raise rising
Low-fare carriers cannot offer those $39 fares forever. Eventually, they are going to have to raise fares to offset rising costs.
consumers perks push support
One would think that consumers would want to see someone in. But when push comes to shove, the consumers want their World Perks miles, and they will support Northwest.
call ready
You have to give it to Northwest. They're flying, AMFA's not working, ... I'm not ready to call it yet, but, boy, it's getting close.
becomes employees excellent force good lean mean minnesota news northwest people reckon relief takes
This takes a relief off everybody. It's excellent news for Northwest Airlines, employees and the people of Michigan, Minnesota and Tennessee. It's not so good news for United, American and US Airways that when Northwest becomes lean and mean they will be a force to reckon with.
