Glad I got to get on one of these babies before they were retired.
NW flew lots of them on the MSP-FAR route, so I had my share of flights on them. Always liked them, even if they were getting long in the tooth. Really, I think I'd rather see them stay on that route than the CR7s and CR9s they're using now. At least they're not all 50-seat CRJs like UA uses on ORD/DEN-FAR. (OK, I think there's one E75 on those routes, but basically all 50-seat CRJs.)
