Northwest: The Crappy Airline

Now before the lawyers start suing me for libel and slander for labeling Northwest a crappy airline (because let's face it, we've all had crappy airline experiences); this has nothing to do with crappy service, it really has to do with crap!

While waiting for a recent Northwest flight there was a couple with their dog in the gate area. It was not a service dog, but small enough to fit in a piece of luggage that fit under the seat-back in front of them. It seems that dogs are allowed on the plane if they fit in a carry-on. I went over to meet the dog. Cute.

While in flight a sudden odor shot through the cabin. That odor came from the seat right behind me. Please refer to the title of this blog post. Yes, the dog took a crap. Well as quick as that odor came, it went. I guess the owners have done this before and were prepared. People were wild. I found it hilarious. I saw two options; get crazed over a situation of which I had no control or laugh at those who were getting crazed.

The other day a cute little baby was in the terminal. We boarded the plane. Guess where the baby was seated? While in flight a sudden odor shot through the cabin. That odor came from the seat right behind me. Please refer to the title of this blog post. Yes, the baby took a crap. Well as quick as that odor came, it went. I guess the "owners" have done this before and were prepared. Three older women seated nearby went wild. I found it hilarious. I saw two options; get crazed over a situation of which I had no control or laugh at those who were getting crazed.

Too often we are bothered with what we cannot change, versus focusing on what we can change - our attitude. So let's all get rid of the crappy attitudes and leave the crapping to babies and dogs.
