When was this mentioned about 747s leaving MSP and will they still be a part of the fleet plan for the future?
From the New york Times
"Executives of the two companies said Tuesday that a new and more flexible contract with Delta pilots would allow the merged company to begin swapping planes in an effort to lift sales soon after completing its merger. For example, using Northwest’s big Boeing 747s or its Airbus A330-300s from Delta’s hubs in Atlanta or at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York would take advantage of high demand for business travel there. Delta has only the smaller 777s."
Anderson specifically mentioned taking the 747s from the MSP market to the ATL market
