Northwest... No, Delta
Just on my way to the airport today, I noticed at the gate that the signpost for Northwest Airlines had been replaced by one for Delta. I guess it really is the end of an era. Not too excited. That leaves only United, US and Delta as the remaining legacy carriers that started off big before deregulation. Thirty years after the fact, it makes one question whether deregulation was a good idea, or whether it was implemented properly. Yet to meet Alfred Kahn, one of the architects of deregulation, and an Ithaca native.
