I can't remember where I got this, but I got sent a link of what the 744 will look like in Delta colors. It surprisingly doesn't look so bad, IMO.
I still wish they could have kept the NW brand for the TPAC routes... red tails should be the only thing going that direction... sigh.

It's especially sad seeing it after my swing through DTW last weekend with 5 beautiful 744's in a row. Oh well...

The real bad part is they are NOT refreshing Y while they have the opportunity. DL is grabbing some PR by having a 744 with their livery to parade around. Outside that, I can't see DL keeping them around long term when they can make Boeing give them 772LRs (in trade for 787 slots).
