As an addendum, note that--importantly--when it comes to upgrades, & if an elite member & upgrades matter to you (it does to many of us), NW gate agents will NOT expend effort to upgrade you once you've boarded--but CO gate agents will. This becomes a frequent "issue" as NW often will not release FC seats until after general boarding has commenced, & sometimes not until after the standby list has cleared(worst case = not releasing seats until just minutes prior to the door getting closed)--w/ NW, you are thus faced w/ frequently having to choose between being able to use overhead bin space & getting an upgrade, which is ridiculous.

It's a myth. My experiences were opposite to that. I was called to see FA for seat rearrangement from coach to first class on NW flight. IMO, CO is not better than NW at this matter.
Generally NW treats elite members very well.
