New Northwest Airlines Company, NWJ?

I just recently heard that Northwest has future plans of starting up a 2nd airline. It would consist of a 50, 70, and 90 seat jet fleet. The new airline would be called Northwest Jets (NWJ). I also heard that the plan was to cut up to 70% of all its mainline flying. This makes sense if the current fleet of DC-9s will be parked in the next few years. Starting a second airline would be a way for them to keep the majority of their domestic routes flown by the Dc-9 instead of shifting all that flying to their regional carriers.

Again, I don't know how much of this is true or not. If someone has anymore insite or info on this, please let me know.

Thanks.

Was in MSP at Signature and a line guy said that 60 execs from NW where there and flew in a 195. He thought it was stange and the CEO was there. I think they are up to something and you might have the plan figured out.

Where did you hear it?

I have a buddy at Pinnacle who had a Northwest pilot jumpseater. He was talking about the "new" airline that Northwest was going to startup. Only a few of the pilots I have talked to have heard this.

I'm a pilot!
What more would Northwest want from a pilot?
Where do I sign up to cross the line? Captain position only!

What is your deal? You have several posts that all you are trying to do is create conflict.....opposing views is good but yours are irrational. Take a chill pill!!
