A week after a terrorist tried to bring down Northwest 253 Delta has announced they will, in effect, liquidate the 84 year-old airline. The pre-planned move became possible when the Federal Aviation Administration approved issuing a single operating certificate to Delta. All Northwest references and logos will disappear, possibly as early as April when the website nwa.com will jump to delta.com.

The 84-year-old Northwest merged with Delta in April of 2008. to form the world's largest airline. They service 368 destinations for more than 170 million passengers each year.

Northwest references have been slowly disappearing as airport signage has been changed to Delta, staff has been re-uniformed, and planes repainted.

Delta and Northwest completed a task list of 10,000 items including the integration of nearly 500 manuals, specifications, programs, policies, and procedures.

1. Fun coincidence.

The move is welcome to those of us who from time to time found ourselves on the wrong end of the terminal due to a confusion over who was operating which flight. :)

2. What does the would-be bombing have to do with something that's been in the works for a long time?

Non-sequiturs, bad writing and bad editing.

3. I wonder what their definition of a 'long time' is?

Could it be since the NW pilots overshot Mpls. by 150 miles? Get rid of the name with bad PR.

4. Nope. Since they merged more than a year ago.
