Ok, since the DC10-40's will be gone soon here, and I'm not too sure where the '30's will be placed, should NW use a couple of its 742's soly for the highest density domestic routes out of DTW and MSP?

HUYfan-
Northwest is slated to recieve only 330-300s. 24 on order and options are held for another 36. 298 passenger seating (2 class) just as their DC-10-40s. Hope this helps a little!

I think they should use the A330. That would be cool.
Have fun

NW does not fly 747s on domestic routes anymore...the last one was a daily flight MSP-LAX-MSP that was pulled when ship 6602 (the last 747-100) was retired last year.
IMHO, NW shouldn't fly the 747 on domestic flights, and stick with high frequencies of flights to give travelers like myself better connections and choices, which I believe is their strategy as we speak.

NWA MAN - actually the last 3 remaining 747-100s were ships 6601, 6603 and 6608. They were dedicated to the beach market between NRT - HNL and NRT-GUM/SPN. They were high density configs flying these routes for the remaining years of their lives at NW. NW hasn't had regularly scheduled domestic 747 service besides HNL for a long time.
And no, to answer the question, NW should not deploy 747s domestically! What kind of a hair brained idea is that? Certianly not one with economics or common sense built into it!
