I must say, they look pretty darn comfortable for an RJ! The plane looks awesome on NW colors in my opinion. The new NW Airlink titles look pretty cool as well.

The interior looks just like the United Express one I flew on from ORD-HPN. Its a great aircraft no doubt.

Did they bother to put in IFE? It does look sharp I'll admit, NWA though is still a $hit box airline from in and out, hehe sorry Matt ;)

It looks great in NW colors...now if they can keep it flying for a while and not pull an IndyAir on us that would be great.

Funny you mention that John, in-fact Compass is flying on the old Fly I FAA certificate. A few Compass officials are former Indy Air as well. However since its majority owned by NWA I'm sure they'll last.

I'll admit though its a great looking E jet, prob the best out there, but doesn't change the fact NWA is nothing more then a flying load of $hit.

That's why I brought it up. ;)

No IFE, it has to do with flight attendant contracts stating that they can't do IFE on narrowbody, although that might have been abolished in the new contract, i'm not sure.

Tommy, we all have our opinions, but according to DOT data, among the legacies, NW had the least amount of customer complaints in 2006, least amount of lost luggage, least amount of delayed flights, etc. ;)

least amount of delayed flights

Yeah that's because last week NWA had to cancel over 900 flights because of a continued sick out. Gov't data is a load of crap, ATW rated NWA as the worst domestic airline in the U.S. I've even talked to NWA employees who say NWA has turned into $hit. I avoid them and the other Skyteam airlines like the plague.
