North"worst" (as they were affectionately known in MN) wasn't known as one of the best companies....I remember in the years before the Delta merger there were disgruntled employees picketing the head of the company's house and employees striking. I'm not surprised they didn't handle this situation well at all.

Back in the days of yore, one of the best airlines was North"best". In 1986 they bought out "Repulsive" Airlines and became "Northworst". Today they are now

In October of 2010 I was in Atlanta when Storms forced the cancellation of all of their flights.

I had to stay a day in Atlanta, the earliest flight for me was 7:00 PM the next day. I found a Hotel and overnighted, then returned to the Airport, stored my luggage, and took the MARTA train downtown. I visited the World of Coca Cola and the Georgia Aquarium, and had lunch at the Sundial Restaurant at the top of the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel (I always wanted to eat there since I was a kid, in the mid 1970s this was at the time the world's tallest hotel). Itch Scratched!

i just rewatched the case

this Bobby guy clearly was behind it

Probably because there are people within the company who were involved and/or know more than they'd care to admit, and if they've managed to get away with it after 21 years now, I think it's safe to assume that they plan to keep it that way for as long as possible.

Their reputation was already ruined with the harassment and then Su's murder, so they wanted to hide to spare themselves any more drama. The fact that no one has been charged with her murder is an injustice to Su and her family.

Airlines are infamous for trying to hide their mistakes.Anything from changing their name (think Jet Blue) to when US Airways erected a monument for their lost crew members as far away from the actual crash site as they could get it.It's all about trying to save face and continuing to rake in the dollars.

Necco · 04-02-2013, 12:04 PM

JetBlue changed it's name to escape mistakes? How did I miss that?

I know AirTran rebranded itself after the ValuJet crash in the Everglades.

What did JetBlue do? (please don't let it be horrible, I fly them all the time.)

scc1222 · 04-02-2013, 06:23 PM

Necco,you are correct,I got the name mixed up!

Necco · 04-02-2013, 10:36 PM

Phew! I won't fly AirTran, but I love JetBlue and they're the only two flights out of the local airport to Disney. Heh. I have my priorities!

LooksLikeCRicci · 05-05-2013, 08:54 PM

Did they not participate, perhaps, because Su's family had sued them? It would seem heartless, but a sound legal strategy to not comment on anything...

annoulzz · 05-09-2013, 02:28 AM

i agree. i am thinking it was a "legal" thing for them not to comment on the case.. because we all know they would have denied the allegations anyways to save face.

WishfulDreamer · 11-02-2014, 03:04 PM

This case isn't discussed much on the forum, but I still find it to be one of the most chilling and tragic stories portrayed on UM. Susan worked hard to get the job she had only to be killed. This really doesn't seem like a random act of violence. She wasn't robbed or sexually assaulted. It seems like someone was really in a rage when they killed her. They know the names of the people (at least several of them) behind the death threats, thanks in part to Susan's friends at work and her own diary. You would think they would have had some forensic evidence to tie them to the crime? I think one of these people saw her leaving to get the sandwiches and attacked. It was around 4 in the morning and few people were around. It's also extremely suspicious that Susan never left and didn't return to work on a food run before this event yet she wasn't reported missing for over a day. If my coworker left to get food for everyone and didn't return, I'd be concerned, especially if he or she went alone in the early morning hours.

I have to say when it comes to job promotions, people will go to great lengths to discredit other employees who they think are getting 'special treatment'. I became a victim of this (thankfully not murdered) when I revealed to a close WORK friend how much money I made an hour - let's just say the friendship ended abruptly and I was reprimanded by managers. But, to murder a person over a job is insane - even if the person was mentally ill or a sociopath. Just find another job!!

Not really a point on the case but it's late
