YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!!! Shocked The new Northwest one is 10 times better than the crappy Delta one. If they are gonna retain it, go back to the original widget scheme Very Happy
Please direct your complaints to the moon, they might care there.

That is true. Personally I think the one before the newest livery is much better than the new one.

Well I dont think that the livery is the biggest part of their worries right now however they were supposed to discuss it this weekend because of the pilots ( forget the exact name of what they were doing ) anyway short story they were discussing that if northwest did merge all the senior pilots of northwest would then get the routs and the delta senior pilots would not be able to anymore.

And if you look back at what I said that if northwest merges and delta keeps livery I said they will get alot of new fleet. Northwest has alot of airbuses, boeing including 747 etc. Delta only does boeing and the biggest is the 777 however they used to do the 747.

Maybe after NW merges with Delta they'll get rid of the ancient DC 9's faster. Not that I don't like them but they are on average 30 years old.
