Search for DL metal without NW metal results
I have not seen this after searching through the DL forum... are there any effective means for searching for flights between city pairs where I can exclude NW metal and it only will show DL metal flights?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Three months ago one could fairly argue that a search on delta.com was pretty good at overlooking NW-metal flights.
It seems delta.com is now somewhat less wedded to showing DL-metal all the way.
There's only one mainline aircraft type operated by both (still separate operating certificates) carriers: the 757-200. Operating carrier is disclosed - as demanded by U.S. regulations - with every flight search or phone reservation, so one can ignore the NW offerings if one wishes.

Thank you for the aircraft type guidance for distinguishing NW and DL metal.
Am I right to think that there is still a difference in the F class domestic product between both DL and NW metal?

Onboard service should be similar (food, drinks) except I still see NW FAs using carts to serve. However the hard product (seats, IFE) is drastically different, especially for the transcon flights.
