Good luck.
Northwest is not alone in its endeavor. Look at their own alliance partners CO and DL and note how much their flying has shifted to RJs. At least the new jets Northwest has purchased are arguably more comfortable than the ERJ-135/145 and the CRJ-200/700s that dominate the other carriers. The CRJ-900 and EMB-175 will be an improvement over those if you've never flown in one before.
