Why does every NW I see say "Northwest/KLM?" I understand NW is owned by an investment group of which KLM (now Air France-KLM) is a member. Still, the signs look silly in my opinion. The "super alliance" they attempted to build is long dead and while they have a strong codeshare agreement, it still seems that they should drop the /KLM. Any thoughts?
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
Well the only reason the Northwest/KLM strong alliance was broken was really Air France...
But I understand your point, they really should drop the grouping.
nwa FOREVER!
In that event Delta should probably do the same with Alitalia/Air France and Korean. It was pretty funny in SRQ when people would ask us where the gate for Alitalia flight **** to Rome was.
Southwest Airlines-"Once it pop's it's time to stop" Southwest Airlines-"Our Shamu's are almost real" Southwest Airlines -"We blow our top real easy" Southwest Airlines- "You can't top us..... really"
Hiss,
NWA handles all of KLM's USA bookings
They did cost/revenue sharing
They shared services at their hubs including baggage and check in
They were the first major international airline alliance
It was more than just a codeshare...
nwa FOREVER!
