Northwest Airlines Bastards

    roadracer86 Always worth the pain.

    Thought I share my recent Northworst experience with you' all since it is absolutely pathetic how these retards treat paying customers. See if you guys can top this bullshit.

    Flew down to Charlotte NC ride the Smokey Mountains, the Dragon, and the Blue Ridge Parkway for 4 days this past weekend with some business associates and had a great time even if I was riding a HD V-Rod (only Harley I have ridden for more in 50 miles in 33 years). I'm jealous of you guys who live close to these areas since the roads there are absolutely the best I have ridden. We would love to move there if I could only replace my current job here in MI.

    We had a return flight with Northworst and ran into one of most vile and ignorant fuckers in my life at the NWA gate A8. I won't give you the guy's name (Ed, employee #200049) ;).

    Here's to what this prick did to us so you can learn from my mistake. We (my wife and I) had a flight scheduled for 7:44pm and decided we might be able to get out on standby on an earlier flight at 4pm. We got our standby stubs and proceeded to the gate. As we approach the gate we hear this agent given a customer and his wife a ration of shit which we dismissed as an upset passenger, needless to say that thought was way off base. The weasel calls me to the ticket counter and hands me my boarding pass to which I inquire, "is there a chance my wife can get on this flight" to which Joe personality replies in a nasty tone, "I don't know yet" to which I replied "I'm not going to leave my wife in Charlotte and go to Detroit and leave her in Charlotte." He responds loudly, "DO YOU WANT ON THIS FLIGHT OR NOT?" At this point I walked away.

    I then called the reservations hotline and advised them to check status on the flight to see if my wife would make the flight. The woman on the other line said I had to deal with this agent to get her seat assignment. Well things got worse after the flight was delayed due to weather, 2 hours later they ignoramus started to board the flight. I approached this asshole and inquired politely if I could ask him a question about my wife to which he replied "NO" and I said "excuse me" he then proceeded to ask another passenger if I was hard of hearing or deaf and continued to ignore me. At this point I had enough of this flaming cock bag and crushed my boarding pass and threw it at his face and called him a fucking asshole and walked back out of security and back to the front gate trying to locate his supervisor. Of course no one wanted to touch this one since I was almost to the point of going postal with my knuckles on people's faces.

    Well two hours later my original flight was scheduled to leave and this weasel called the FAA and security and when we tried to board our original flight security removed me from the gate and escorted me out of the airport. No more flights to Detroit this night which meant I had to reschedule for the next day, miss work, pay extra for additional nights stay in a hotel which are never really cheap by airports.

    The morale of this story is fuck NWA and never ever give these asswipes your money, find another carrier. If any of you guys in the Charlotte area might know of this guy and can provide a last name I would love to fly back there on my mileage and capture this idiot outside his house one day. Sorry for the rant but I wanted everyone to know what kind of people this company employs to interface with there customers. Most people in this airport knew about this dudes attitude and apparently he has a history of pissing people off.

    Also if any of you have had an experience with this clown please let me know since I plan on pursuing NWA legally since he can not deny boarding access to a customer for swearing or throwing a piece at paper at him. (I spoke another agent friend of mine who verified this fact). I also have a witness that provided us his business card before he boarded the flight that witnessed the whole incident, so I have a pretty good case.

    Thanks and stay off of NWA flights, they lick balls.

    You watch what happens if you pursue it, the little bastard will claim he was in fear of bodily injury from you. Last time I was at the airport saw a guy get escorted away for just about the same thing at a US Airways ticket counter, however this idiot was mad because he had tickets from another airline lololol.

    i f*cking hate northwest more than i hate delta, which is one helluva lot.
    these days, if it's not continental or jet blue, f*ck you, i'm walkin'.
    can not muthaf*ckin' stand the airlines, in general, and walkin' isn't really a choice. i'd love to just shove it up their ass so frickin' far they'll be able to use it to hangar airbus380s...in formation. c*cks*ckers! how the f*ck is it we have to bail their stupid asses out of bankruptcy every so often? simple. they could't run sh*t thru a sewage system if the one-step intructions for flushing were printed boldly on the handle...and i wish just once i could witness them enforcing their own frickin rules about carry-ons. dipsh*t, cow-herded morons with their excess baggage should be penalized. i swear, the next time some dumb*ss with too many or too big of bags takes the space above my seat for their sh*t, i'm tossin' it down the f*cking aisle and screaming, "hey, airline flunky...rant, rant, rant and, no, i don't want any f*cking headphones, peanuts or sh*tty coffee. just shut the f*ck up and leave me alone in my misery for the duration of my stay...and if you wanna shorten it, have at it. class-action suit, motherf*cker. i wasn't born this pissed off and i'm not takin' the rap for my behaviour. b*tch."

    f*cking airlines. if it doesn't already exist, i'm coining the phrase now...air rage - the uncontrollable urge to beat the f*ck out of every airline employee in sight...and then some, like the dumbf*ck tsa. generally made manifest by their gross displays of ignorance and attitudes.

    god i hope i never again have a need to fly with someone else at the controls.
    just the f*ckin' thought of flyin'...i swear to god...[​IMG]

    Good call you two; maybe you guys should become psychologists since your absolutely wrong! You weren't there don't pass judgment.

    I have a BS degree in management with a minor in psychology from a prominent university and 20 years in a management role and I would never know when someone has crossed the line? And you guys are what high school graduates?

    If your evaluation of the situation were correct then why would 5 other people file a complaint against the same agent the same day? I was over reacting, right? I'm just sick of getting shitty service when we drop $1200 on airfare. If that type of behavior is ok with you maybe you two should stop by and see the guy you are taking sides with, if he is still around after the investigation is complete with their management. Maybe you three can go hang out together and swap ideas on becoming even bigger tools then already presented yourself as on this post.

    You would not have been to impressed if he badgered your elderly father and mother like this clown did to a couple right before he decided to turn his attitude loose on me. I'm sorry but someone that has such disrespect for their customers and people in general should be discharged and be placed in a role where they have no customer interface. He should become the broom boy.

    Bring a video camera next time. That's the only way to get his ass fired. While he's at work...you are on his territory. You lose plain and simple. He knew you were going to file a complaint. So he took preemptive action. He wins. And getting in his face wasn't going to help. Going to the front and requesting a supervisor is the only way.

    And this is Mad Brad speaking. If anyone would be able to identify a flaming asshole...he's yer man.

    roadracer86 Always worth the pain.

    The reason I'm so distraught over this whole situation is the fact that I had to burn another vacation day and my wife had to forgo her hourly rate which equates to about $800 out of pocket expense we did not plan on. This guy "THOUGHT" he would be able to do this to whoever and whenever he wanted. I have accumilated over 600,000 miles with NWA and I think they will take this complaint very seriously since I have already had two managers call our house today for details on our witness and the event. I'm not letting this guy off the hook even if it cost me attorney fees.

    The common man needs to win one once in awhile.
