Saying Thank You

On May 31st we will be having a special day to thank our employees! Food will be served to all NWA employees throughout the system. Here in DTW, we will be setting up several locations where management will be serving and thanking you for your commitment and support during a very difficult time in our history. There is no question, without your support we would not be able to make this airline a great company with a strong future. We will be sending out more information soon, but the plan is being set up for 3 locations in the terminal, one in cargo and one at the hangar facility. Chicken, ribs and a veggie meal will be served with the traditional picnic style salads. I look forward to serving you and saying "thank you".

Speaking about saying thanks, I would like to thank all of you who have participated in the Habitat for Humanity build. I was over at the house this week and those who worked there before me have done a great job building the structure. Several of your fellow employees and I hung the doors and windows. It was a lot of work and I have great respect for construction workers. We have two days left to participate with the Habitat House, this Saturday and next Wednesday. It is a great experience!

Well, we have a very busy weekend ahead of us with full flights. The Employee Support Center is working on staffing up to ensure the staffing levels are successful. Good luck and have a great and safe Memorial Day weekend.

P.S. Watch your mailbox for a letter from Doug Steenland that everyone is receiving this week. It will contain information about "A New Day at NWA Appreciation Travel Program."

Thank you,
Mark Gurney
