This is a great video brings tears to my eyes. Northwest Airlines was a grand airlines that had such a rich history. Created by its employees they are the ones that make a company great. I have lost almost all respect for airlines CEO. They are all retreads that f up other airlines all of the are college loser that no buss running grand companys. Blame unions all you want they are not the ones that mess things up. Southwest has and all union company and they seem to be doing great.

NWA, please come home! All Airports are your home, all gates are open only for you! Delta will leave if you come back I promise!!!

Since DTW is my home airport, I flew Northwest in all but three of the times I've flown (though I've only flown around a dozen round trips). The other airlines I've flown were Spirit in 2004 (very lackluster) US Airways in 2008 (hated them) and Delta in 2011 (good service, TERRIBLE, HORRIBLY uncomfortable seats). My best memories of flying were as an unattended minor on Northwest. I will never forget those days long past now that all we have are terrible seats and tons of fees.

passengers the next year! Delta was 2 years older then nwa but nwa was still transporting passengers 2 1/2 years before Delta.

And international between nwa and Delta is a joke. Delta began carrying passengers in late 1929 and its first international routes (to the Caribbean and Caracas) in 1953. nwa began transporting passengers in 1927 and it's first international routes in 1928.

It took Delta a total of 29 years to go from a crop duster to an international airline.

Delta are idiots for not leaving at least a trace of nwa in there new livery. nwa already got the short end of the stick on the so called merger and nwa was the more dominant airline. Delta did not even own a single 747 until the merger, all the 747's you see painted in Delta colors are nwa's 747's. Delta Started out as a crop duster company in 1924 but did not start carrying passengers until late 1929!

nwa started out in 1926 transporting mail for the US Government and was transporting

Actually, Western was the oldest continuously operating airline in the U.S., dating its origins back to July 13, 1925. Western would be acquired by Delta 22 years before Northwest.

Great video! What Aircraft was that when you showed the takeoff in the Cockpit?

I am a Delta employee and grew up in MSP. Please understand that the Red Tail means as much to the NW people as the Widget does to us. It is up to us now to pull this togeather. I have talked to alot of NW employees and they, as all the Delta people agree its time to move forward. If Delta had merged and they kept the NW name, I would be skeptical too. But, to all the NW employees, Welcome to the New Delta. We have combined the best of each airline!
