Its extremely intriguing to read and envision everyone's differing persepectives and tastes from similiar experiences. Granted, I have been 98% DL for 3-4 years, so I have an expectation which has mostly been met time after time after time out of PHX.

When I finally dare to venture outside and try NW and it doesn't feel or look the same, my perpsective is negative, so it seems. I truly beleive that some of you adore NW or CO over DL. After my NW experience, I could not imagine flying them again unless I had to. It was really, honestly and sincerely, a horrible experience overall compared to my history with DL. My senses told me these FC sections were smelly, untidy, ugly and non-premium in look and feel. I can remember a similiar feeling on a DL 732 in FC SLC-PDX, but for some reason I didn't mind because it was my carier...it was DL...it was home. Interesting.

However, I am open minded and may venteure to try NW again. Perhaps the A320 and DC-9's are not the same level as the 757's.

The MSP C WC sounds great and I haven't been thru DTW. Yes, the food choices in the WC were better, but the cafeteria feel made me want to just go out into the food court. My DL reference from the CRC's has always been an attended bar, little food, mostly quiet, and I look for that retreat sense into an extension of my living room. The MSP G WC seemed like just a private food court with a gate feel.

I guess I was met with a bad first impression. I've never been on CO. Oh well.
