I think Gordo has enough problems with his own customers.
Just about all of the DC9's are older than I am and I love them. While I find CO's F much nicer (leather, pitch, IFE), I'm not going to jump on an ERJ or a B1900 to connect somewhere and deal with the 50/50 chance that the EUA worked to get 50% EQM.
Does it seriously matter if they use a cart to serve drinks or not? Obnoxious is most definetly not the appropriate term anyway. The only drink service item that I've ever felt was inferior on NW was that CO has larger, nicer glasses, but anyway...
I've flown CO 25-50% of the time for the past few years and had many memorable flights. I will miss them, though I will continue to grocery shop in the P Clubs when my travels permit.
Go NWA
