Northwest Airlines Complaint - Rudest People Ever!!!

Posted by PassingBy on 2007-09-05:

Northwest has had a poor record of customer service for a long time already. Northern accent? Last week there was a complaint about an East Coast accent.

bellapug02 what does the man's race have to do with the price of tea in China? Stick to the facts sans the racial profiling. Racial profiling is very politically incorrect.

bellapug02 you did make a great observation - "yelling at everyone like we were herds of cattle". When I fly I always feel like a cow being herded. I find a handful of xanax washed down with a couple shots of gin eases that feeling.

Hey when you were in Denver did you happen to see large prides of lions roaming the streets? Anyway, despite your racial undertones I'm still going to vote your review 'Very Helpful'. Good job bellapug02!

Where does all this stuff that you’ve heard about this morning – the victim feminism, the gay rights movement, the invented statistics, the rewritten history, the lies, the demands, all the rest of it – where does it come from? For the first time in our history, Americans have to be fearful of what they say, of what they write, and of what they think. They have to be afraid of using the wrong word, a word denounced as offensive or insensitive, or racist, sexist, or homophobic.

If we look at it analytically, if we look at it historically, we quickly find out exactly what it is. Political Correctness is cultural Marxism. It is Marxism translated from economic into cultural terms. It is an effort that goes back not to the 1960s and the hippies and the peace movement, but back to World War I. If we compare the basic tenets of Political Correctness with classical Marxism the parallels are very obvious.

bellapug02, don't worry about what some Liberal says about Political Correctness just be your self and give it right back to them! Good job.....

bellapug--thank you for the post. Another airline to steer clear of when possible. There is never an excuse for rudeness. BTW--I didn't think you were racial profiling, just giving a description of the rude person you dealt with.

I don't like any airline anymore, I do not like Delta, I do not like NorthWest, I do not like green eggs and ham.

I am never leaving home again, God Bless America!!

I agree, you get what you pay for. I too experience much better service at Delta, and the people at Delta just seem more pleasant. While I've never had any major problems with NWA, I find their gate agents at the major hubs to be very rude.

I just want to clarify: I had someone on here say I was "racial profiling"- I guess what he did not read was that this is the exact letter I sent to Northwest- I was simply trying to describe, in the best detail I could, who I dealt with. I am a white woman- I'm not racist against caucasion men! I'm not racist against black men-or hispanic men-or anyone else! I truly did not mean to come across as racist- this is honestly the first time in my life I've ever been accused of being so, but like i said- it was only a description. If you read it- you see I am speaking to northwest-

bellapug02 I stand corrected. Please accept my most humble apology. You are right in that I did not comprehend this was the exact letter you sent to Northwest. We all have our AlleyS moments at times.

security has nothing to do with the airlines..it's the government.
you really lost me on your complaint when you brought up the caucasian thing.
The only people I've seen in Memphis that have had problems are people that are a problem.

in regards to jktshff1 ~ ONE MORE TIME... I AM CAUCASIAN.. IT WAS SIMPLY A DESCRIPTION. Its really sad when we cannot even mention what race a person is without being accused of being racist. I didn't say "that dumb white man" or "that ugly black guy"- and if I did- THAT WOULD STILL BE A DESCRIPTION NOT RACIAL PROFILING! And the security I had the biggest problem with was in DENVER and was hired by the AIRPORT. He worked for "Guest Services"- not for the government. I promise you I have my facts strait- I'm wondering if you are not a NW employee who is just a little bitter & trying to veer the attention away from the lack of quality this company offers by turning it around to make me look like some racist who was just having a bad day.

Never have worked for an airline. Don't like dealing with the public.
Not a problem, but bringing up "colors" automatically sets off alarms, I was not claiming you were racist. Matter of fact if someone asks for my description I tell them an old fat white guy.
Sounds like you had a bad experience from the get-go, gotta get to airports early nowadays.
