I just flew on a series of Northwest flights over the past few days. I was on an A320 painted in the new Delta Colors (the interior seats were still in the Northwest blue fabric) but the interior bulkhead had the new Delta Logo etched onto it, the same holds true for a DC9 that I also flew within the same itinerary. I thought the new Delta livery looked cool on these planes (I was never a fan of the newest Northwest livery). I can understand the paint job on the A320, I also saw an A330 and some E175s painted, but for the DC9 am I alone in thinking that was a waste of money? Why would Delta spend the money to repaint an aircraft that will be phased out over the next year or two?

I’d love to see a bit more blue maybe just a little up over the wing and to pull the two airlines together I would have kept the NWA circle with the Delta name and logo.

Wow, Tony, that’s a really dumb error on my part. Thanks for pointing it out!

Hi Dan,

Just came across your site, thanks to your article in magazine on the excess capacity in the desert. One correction to your poll on SW…it is Cincinnati…1 “n” followed by “nn”…and only 1 little “t”. (I voted for CVG…we need help vs. the Delta $$$ demanded here.

Thanks!

Hi Tim – as far as I know it has just been repainted and the aircraft still has the NW interior, but I believe that change is on the way as well.

It does not look like a new a320… It looks pretty old to me. Did delta also redo the seats and put in IFE too?

I love the A320. It is strange, but I made a picture of the A320 Delta, like this one. Maybe we were in the same airport at the same time!

I believe NW owns all of their A330s, which I think only helps the case to keep them in the fleet.

I used to fly on a Northwest A330 and on Delta 767 (between France and the US). A330 is an awesome plane (and I don’t say that becaus I’m French, 777 is also a great plane). Let’s hope they gonna keep them in their fleet.
