True. I should have said "constructive". If someone wants to give the impression that CO is that good, you should not need to put down NW. The CO product should do well on its own.
BTW. NW and CO are different products that seek out a different market share. I usually find these topics comparing airlines not that helpfull. I usually suggest that you need to look at your needs and pick tha airline that fits them best. Obviously, the original post suggest that NW is not his/her best choice...</font>
What kind of "constructive" comments were you looking for?
NW and CO "seek out a different market share"? Really now? What would these different market shares be? The original poster already said "the alliance" had him flying NW. Doesn't extensive codesharing counter your point of different products/different market share?
There are times, with the CO-NW alliance, when one has no choice but to fly NW. For example, CO does not fly to Green Bay but codeshares with NW. How is this consistent with the supposed different market share?
