NW would need six A330 deliveries to fulfill these routes by January for all DC10 services to be dropped, and I don't think that is happening. I suppose MSP-LGW-MSP might be dropped for the winter again; however, NW is taking over the EWR-AMS-EWR route starting in November with an A333, so that's not any savings. It will be sad to see the DC10 leave, but the A330 is one fine airplane!
Based on the most recent NWA timetable, D10 Retirement still isn't programmed in, as HNL-KIX and HNL NRT still shows D10 beyond January 8.
