The report was released at a news conference Wednesday at Detroit Metro by U.S. Rep. John Dingell, D-Trenton, who asked for Slater's involvement after Dingell received scores of com­ plaints. The report also stated: • Northwest lacked a snow emergency plan for Metro Air­ port. • On Saturday, Jan. 2, approximately 9,200 passengers were stranded on the tarmac, with 240 held for over nine hours, 320 for eight to nine .hours and 160 for seven to eight hours. The following day, 12,880 pas*8erigers suffered similar delays. • Those delays resulted from Northwest's and Detroit Metro's lack of a coordinated plan for approaching severe winter storms and for assessing their respective abilities to adequate­ ly cope with the storm's impact on maintenance personnel, flight crews, equipment and facilities.
