When my Dad died in 1980, I had to book a flight on Northwest to Minneapolis & change planes to Madison, Wis.

MY travel agent said that there were THREATS of a NW strike, but that she & others had been ASSURED that it was still pending-—not active.

I got neighbors to take me to LAX & found out that NW HAD ALREADY GONE ON STRIKE-—BEFORE THEY SOLD TICKETS TO MY AGENT. THEY WERE LYING ALL DAY LONG.

THEN-—They wanted me & go back home & come back to airport for 6 AM flight-—all of which would have been darn near impossible-—nothing but land travel.

I birched enough at the NW counter that they got me a room-—and I shared it with another nice lady-—we were both in same predicament.

WAS about the worst flying experience I could have——

I NEVER flew with NW again.

I was on a flight to Mobile, Alabama many years ago.

As we were approaching the airport, I noticed some complexes looked much larger than I expected.

They announced were landing in Miami, Florida. At least 15-20 people exclaimed “Miami! We’re supposed to be in Mobile, AL”

They had led us across the tarmac to the wrong airplane when we boarded.

With the HUGE AMOUNT of child trafficking going on with our Open Borders, putting a kid on a wrong flight is no big deal, as there will always be some adult ready to ‘pick him up’ on the other end.

So Spirit probably got confused and figured it was simply more NGO/Catholic/US Gov child trafficking going on.

I had pretty much the opposite experience on NWA. At age 6, I flew, unaccompanied from MSP to MIA. They treated me like royalty. I couldn’t wait for another chance to travel alone.

Maybe he didn’t want to go to Grandma’s. Has anyone at NBC thought about this.

What parent would put unaccompanied 6 year old on any plane?
