I was a flight attendant for Republic & it was a GREAT experience! Crews realy did care & had a blast doing it! Then along came Northwest. Was there a LONG time too. Believe me. The employees were night & day!
It's bad enough that Northwest bought out Republic, when we had TWO major airlines based in Minneapolis-St. Paul. Back when flying was fun, the people were friendly, and there were a million airlines all competing for business with great service. Now, if Northwest merges with United, the Twin Cities won't even have our own historic, hometown carrier. I will never fly them again if they merge. The almighty dollar above tradition and service. Farewell, Norwest Bank. Farewell, Northwest Airlines.
Yes, Northwest Orient was a strange bird, but think about it, would Republic have survived without any international travel to help subsidize the US operations?

That has to be a mockup when they introduce the stews. Look at that aisle. It's so wide!
