Yeah, I saw your post after I posted my post!
Anyway, the funny thing is that the timetable on co.com will show you a direct EWR-MSP routing on NW. Of course you can't book it. </font>

Glad someone mentioned this; I had wondered about it too. FWIW, here's an observation that may be a useful piece of the puzzle...to someone sharper than I:
I often get lots of codeshare options to come up *on CO.com* when searching by "best price". IIRC, these have included itineraries that were all codeshare. But then trying to (opportunistically maximize my miles by taking that info and moving to) search by "schedule" returns only the CO metal flights out of all those previously shown at the low fares. Hm.
