Why arent the Saabs being repainted in the new colors. <acronym title="Northwest Airlines (USA)">NW</acronym> is operating with two entirely different logos and marketing images and all that does is confuse customers.

Jump to postOh is the 777 new? only if you consider a 1980s era design new. And they've been flying for over 7 years now, so they are hardly new. Great plane though- I agree.

Jump to postNorthwest quit printing them over one year ago. They said the savings is almost $1 million per year!!
Jump to postI recently heard from a reliable source that NW will ETOPS certify some 757-300'S for use on mainland-Hawaii service. Can anyone confirm this?
Jump to postLACSA!! Friendliest prettiest FA's on the planet!
Jump to postBASED in Detroit? How long have you been around? Better check your facts. And, Industrial Pate-- Way to go, you are only stating facts and everyone is trying to beat you up. Whats up with that?? The fact is, these are not good times at any of the legacy carriers. Keep up the good posts!!
Jump to postRemember that <acronym title="Northwest Airlines (USA)">NW</acronym> has a decent amount of connecting passengers w/ Alaska,Horizon at <acronym title="Portland - International (PDX / KPDX), USA - Oregon">PDX</acronym>.

Jump to postHuh, lets see.... everyone wants to be dined plus entertained with inflight entertainment. All that for $29.99 courtesy of cheaptickets.com. LOSERS-try buying a premium ticket next time. Why is it that most people today seem to have a sense of entitlement to cheap/free travel?? Air travel is cheaper...
Jump to postThe new image does look much better than the old but they (NW) have said that there are no plans at this time to refurbish the ticket counter areas, gates, ground equipment or anything else the public sees into the new look. That is consistent with <acronym title="Northwest Airlines (USA)">NW</acron...
Jump to postSAAB 340 for sure!! Remember when they were originally called the SAAB-Fairchild <acronym title="STAF Airlines (Argentina)">SF</acronym>-340?

Jump to postAlso remember thats its very easy to have an elegant product and spotless planes when you only have 30-90 planes like so many of the snob carriers; i.e. Singapore, Virgin, Emirates, Cathay, Thai etc. not to mention the government involvment (subsidies) in management. At least none of the U.S. mega c...
Jump to postThank God NWA saw the light and doesnt bother with that sh-- (mail) anymore. What a waste of time and pain in the back. Kudos to NWA management on another good call.
Jump to postYeh, the "professional" flight attendants stood by and watched as passengers took down the maniac. Yeh, WN is so great, the darling of the industry. What a F---ing joke!!

Jump to postSorry I didnt include this in my last post. Go to airlinemeals.net and check out the reviews of actual inflight meals on NW with pics. Pretty cool site.
Jump to postThere is nothing wrong with NWs planes. They are just older for the most part, with a few exceptions. NWs Int'l fleet has PTVs in Business Class only.

Jump to postHEY Dionysus** So help me understand your statement that <acronym title="Northwest Airlines (USA)">NW</acronym> has "rude flight attendants and dog food"- did I get that right? Isn't dog food more or less standard fare in Thailand? Or is it just dogs? you eat those right? I'll give you the rude flig...
Jump to postWN is great, especially their professional flight crews in their purple Taco Bell uniforms.

Jump to postHey Na, Get a clue. There are many NW 742s younger than 30 years old. By the way- how old are you?
Jump to postI think that AA Eagle uses the 340B models. Does anyone know what significance there is to the 340B+ model? I heard that they have speakers and microphones throughout the entire cabin as part of a noise cancellation system. Anyone know for sure?
Jump to postPinnacle Airlines (NW Airlink) maybe. Check out their site at nwairlink.com. Possibly some help there.

Jump to postDetroit Midfield is completely RJ/jetway capable. They even use jetways on the SAAB SF340s! Talk about advanced.
Jump to postThe original US 767s are leftovers from the Piedmont days. That is probably the reason for the GE engines.

Jump to postYeh, grilled chicken, red snapper, lobster and blah, blah, blah. Would you like a free maui vacation with that as well sir?

The 100s had a small bump behind the hump and it can only be seen from certain angles and usually shows up better on liveries that used bare aluminum like <acronym title="American Airlines (USA)">AA</acronym> and Northwest Orient. Also the 100s had some sort of air inlets just a...
Jump to postHas anyone here flown the CRJ-900? AmericaWest Express is flying them. They hold 90 I'm told and really look like baby MD-80s.
Jump to postERJ for sure because its not from canada. Thats reason enough not to buy a CRJ. I've flown both and the ERJ while narrower somehow seems less cramped with the 1-2 seating vs. 2-2 on CRJ.
