Yes u almost have to be a delta guy if you live in Detroit. It is a great terminal and they treat me well and do a good job.

I agree delta is hard to beat. When I flew up here for orientation flew airtran and they were good to. Just didn't like they packed us tight on a plane so small had to carry your bag over your head to keep from running into everyone. Think it was a Boeing 717.

I don't like AirTran out of DTW as everything goes through ATL. It was a pain going to LAX (airport code talk is cool :p)

Your one step away from flying one your self lol. I have only flown 3 times and 2 were delta. Delta was close to a hundred more per ticket a few weeks ago for orientation. I guess airtran is like alot of these companies hauling cheap freight. They are hauling cheap humans.

Delta has the most flights and the most direct flights out of Detroit. So that really helps. Rates are. Overall but for me time is money and delta has my wifi service so I can keep working.

I watched a 3 hr video shot in the ****pit of an Air Canada 777 flying from Toronto to Tokyo. I'm not weird though.

No tough call at all..i ain't sittin no where for 5-6 days..and if you (not you but a "general you") are sitting right in the middle of a great freight area, you ain't goin to be there 5-6 days to begin with...

As for the 6 units in Springfield...I ain't goin to make it #7....my load cancelled....So i am still home and with all of you down there, i shouldn't have to long of a wait gettin out...but as of right now, i had 41 hrs of LL time wiped out......haven't done a 19, but i am thinkin it aint good or bad....it just is what it is.....
