Northwest Airlines

Northwest Airlines must go to seed

This has been the trip from hell. Nothwest is the WORST airline EVER. And this thing they call an airport?

UGH!

Can you believe I am still NOT in San Jose?

First off, the flight was delayed yesterday 4 hours due to weather conditions. Ok. I can live with that. But the airline, instead of taking measures to ensure people got to where they were going or stayed in NYC until further notice, they took us hostage in the airplane FOR FOUR HOURS.

Yes people.

I was with hundreds of other passengers for fours hours on a Northwest Airlines airplane. Four hours which they refused to find a way to get us out of the airplane. Four hours they refused to get people to a non NWA gate so they could be at least out of an airplane and on the ground. Four hours which they decided were necessary so they would not have to go through the extra cost of customer service.

Not only that. The flight was supposed to leave at 5:30pm. It's 9:45pm and instead of getting to a gate as instructed, the pilot decides to depart to Minneapolis.

The asshole says something to the effect : "We could wait another hour and a half for one of hours gates to open up or we could fly. We're flying."

Hurrah, right? No.

QUOTES

While a considerable number of Muslims in the U.S. are African American, and most of the African Americans are engaged in limited income jobs, Muslim immigrants in the US have relatively higher household incomes -- partly, a consequence of liberalization of U.S. immigrant policies in the 60s that opened the doors to skilled and educated immigrants. Consequently, many in the immigrant Muslim population did not face the same level of economic, political, and institutional discrimination termed "structural racism", as faced by many in the African American and now predominantly in the Mexican immigrant communities in the U.S.

Here, then, lies a promise in the recent spate of racist attacks against Muslims in the US. There is a parallel in racism meted out to Muslims, African Americans, and Latino immigrants. It is hoped that many in the American Muslim immigrant community will use the present climate of Muslim xenophobia to challenge the trap inherent in their own class privilege and the status as a high achieving "model minority" that often creates a distance from those less privileged in the community.
