don't know what cool-aid you have been drinking but NW has a much better reputation in the Mid-west than DL in the East. Poor quality??? How about Com-Air, nothing more needs to be said.

I understand that some had an unnatural attachment to the name/company, but trying to argue that the dissolution of the NW brand was a poor business decision is silly.

* Except Japan, where NW is (apparently) the Dokken of airlines, and HUGE!
