NORTHWEST AIRLINES SUCKS!!!! - Thursday, September 28, 2006
This post is to complain. I usually don't use this blog to bitch and moan but this time it can't be helped. What do I have to complain about?
Yep, NORTHWEST AIRLINES! They suck! Here's my story...
On September 15th I was scheduled to fly out to NY. I buy my ticket online, pick my seat and everything's hunky dorey. When I get to the airport on Septemer 15th, I pick up my ticket but there's no seat assignment. I was told I could get my seat at the gate. "Odd," I think. But nothing to really be concerned about. Oh boy...was that thought wrong.
I get to the gate to get my seat but I'm told I have to wait. So I wait and I wait and I wait and I wait and I wait until everyone else starts to get on the plane. Then, when the plane is all full they tell me (and the 8 others who also couldn't get on the plane) that "We're sorry. Northwest OVERSOLD the flight. Sorry." After taking my money and telling me that I have a seat on the plane they decided that it was ok to simply BUMP ME OFF OF THE FLIGHT BECAUSE THEY'RE INCOMPETENT ABOUT BOOKING FLIGHTS! I was annoyed but since there was nothing I could do I took the FREE ROUNDTRIP TICKET ANYWHERE IN THE 48 STATES they offered.
I figured things were ok - at least for future flights. But, once again, NORTHWEST showed me the error in my thinking that they were a worthwhile airline.
Cut to this week. I planned on going back to NY again. I found some time in my busy schedule and called NORTHWEST to use my free ticket. I booked a great flight at a good time and on the day I wanted. They confirmed that I had a seat and gave me a price. "Well," I said. "I have this free ticket Northwest gave me." I sat back and smiled. A nice trip home with no hassles...but as you can guess Northwest doesn't quite work that way. Here's how the rest of the conversation went down.
"We're sorry, sir, you can't use that ticket."
"Why?"
"There's no more seats."
"But you just confirmed there was a seat."
"That was a seat in the regular coach section. You free ticket only works in the "w" coach section."
"What's a "w" coach section?"
"There's different sections of coach. Your ticket only works in the "w" section."
"Wait a minute. You have a seat on the plane. I have a free ticket you gave me because you bumped me off of another flight, but I can't use it?"
"Right."
TELL ME HOW THAT MAKES SENSE???!!!???
I HATE NORTHWEST AIRLINES!!!
So, after fighting with two ticket people and then fighting with their manager whose final answer to me was, "Well, I'm sorry if it bothers you but that's the way it is."
So NORTHWEST airlines is full of idiots and fools and I will NEVER EVER use them again. I have no idea how many people actually read this blog but whoever does, DO NOT FLY NORTHWEST!!! They suck and will make your travels miserable!!
NORTHWEST SUCKS ASS!!!

Why Mike has been so busy - Wednesday, September 27, 2006
You might have noticed that Mike hasn't updated his blog since June. Well, that's because we're heavy into pre-production on Monkey Trouble 2: Simian Shenanigans! That's right, the dream is finally a reality! Principal photography starts October 3 and we're expecting a limited festival run starting in May 2007.Getting the rights to the Monkey Trouble franchise was a long and arduous task, but it will all be worth it when audiences see Mike Fasolo's life getting turned upside-down by monkey mischief!
Newcomers to this blog might not know that Mike is a classically trained stage actor with credits in Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine and (no joke) Brazillian TV commercials. I know the filmgoing public will fall in love with him. Everyone does!
Anyway, I'm sure Mike will post again soon and keep you updated on this exciting project in his own words. Excelsior!
