Copyright NWA INC. 2007 This is the closing video from the annual managers conference that NWA held back in Oct. I think this video is great. Please let me know what you think. any inappropriate comments will be deleted, or you will be blocked. I work for NWA and love my job!!
"Because of our people" Speaking as a retired employee, who was with NWA for 20 years then went through the merger and spent another 12 at Delta, there was absolutely no comparison. Northwest was an absolutely toxic place to work. Employee groups hated each other, management hated everybody. Life after the merger was a 180, and so much better. Nope, after living through it, I can't say I miss NWA at all.
Will always miss NWA & coworkers.
I met Doug Steenland once at our Seattle reservations office and when I approached him and introduced myself, his handshake was limp and he didn't even respond to me with words. It was not a very warm reception.
My father did NW71/72 MNL-EWR via DTW/NGO twice first one was successful since he did WBC but 2nd trip with my Ivy League brother it was disaster due to missing PTV and strict CBP DTW officers. Instead of EWR they got JFK Terminal 4. DL needs to restore NWA routing of DTW-MNL via KIX/ICN the latter one take over one of the OZ slots in MNL
I miss northwest
I am glad i got to see and nwa 747 and DC-9 years ago
Doug Steenland--by far the worst executive ever at Northwest Airlines!
The same fate awaits Asiana airlines which was confirmed to be merged with Korean Air
Ugghhh but it did
Thank for uploading this video. Brings back so many great memories of the 20 years I worked there.
Worked for them from 1988-2005. Sure wish I was still working for them. It was my dream job from when I was young to work for an Airline. I’ve worked in aviation for 40 years now, but NWA was the job I loved
It now sets on DELTA
OMG my 1st employer back in the mid 80 and I still miss NWA and the old times..WHENEVER I see Black Rain is being rerun on TV..I just watch it to see the scenes on the magical 747..truly amazing
2:51
I'll be applying to be a flight attendant for Delta next week. I'm hoping that my first working flight, if I make it, will be an ex NWA bird. Lots of good memories with NWA!
2:04
Awesome. Sad, but awesome.
I was there..
I feel like I am the one that made the view count above 100K. I never flew on NWA or even really knew of them that much, I just enjoy watching this video, it just seems, I don't know, welcoming?
And now.. Narita is all gone down
Minneapolis was so much better off with northwest
11 years ago...
Aviation industry will realize the impact of Northwest when they realize they have no iconic airline to grace the industry. One of the best airlines you could ask for
Oh,? Thought Delta took over NWA
They did... this video was made before the Delta-NWA merger
A330-900neo FTW
to me they will always be the great Northwest Orient Airlines!!
NORTHWEST GOT REKT
Um......... Ask Delta
it is sad to see such a great airlines that once was to end after my 37 years with this company I still look up today today to see the RED Tail flying by I am glad that I had been part of the great aircraft maintenance team we had we could have built our own aircraft at the main base in MSP they did it all in house with many of there own engineering , meterology & many other departments only the best from the great Nortwest
The only airline meal i will always remember it was NW between Cleveland and Chicago 45 minutes L 188 Lockheed Electra a full breakfast scrambled eggs sausage pancakes great.
Northwest delayed me for five hours because of their flight attendant strike in 2005.
If they have the new beautiful 787 why did they merge with delta ? What a waste of money ! 🤦♂️
NWA deferred the orders. They were in bankruptcy. Once Delta took over, Delta deferred the orders again. Delta eventually converted the 787 orders to the 737-900ER. There are a bunch of MD88s and 757s coming of age. Delta needed the narrow bodies more than it needed long-range wide bodies. At the same time, Boeing was launching their fourth generation 737 ("MAX") and was winding down production of the third generation 737 ("NG"). Boeing needed to bridge-the-gap until the MAX went into production and, in the meantime, extended very attractive pricing on the end-of-line NG aircraft to Delta. In this decade, Delta has placed orders for (120+) 737s and (120+) A320s. They just placed an order for an additional (100) next-gen A320neos for the next decade. It's safe to say that wide bodies weren't a priority for Delta this decade. Delta had some wide body retirements this decade. Ultimately, the 787 was not available when they needed deliveries and was not the right fit. The two available 787 models were either too small or too much range for Delta's network. The A350 was the perfect storm to replace the 747. It was bigger than the 787, had the range, and was available. Delta has a ton of 767s that fly Eastern-US to Europe and Western-US to Asia. The 787 is in many ways a successor to the 767. They're similarly sized. For Delta's network, it doesn't need the range of the 787. There's no benefit to paying for that extra range. The A330 has shined here. The A330 is significantly cheaper to acquire and, on these missions, has very good economics. Some of the aging 767s are being replaced with the next-gen A330neos. If the 787 comes down in price one day, we might see it in the fleet. We would also have to see more 2nd tier cities beef up their airport operations for these "long and thin" routes to work. I think NWA's original strategy was to bypass their NRT (and NGO) hub because they did not have an alliance partner in Japan and they knew their days of their intra-asian network were numbered. Unfortunately, it's really hard to sustain long haul routes without a mix of connecting and destination/origin traffic... even with a 787.
Delta is an Airbus shop
Dang it Delta...
i don't know why, but something in this video loved Northwest Airlines and showed how they went throughout the hardest problems of them, if it was not only for delta😠
☹️😔😞Northwest Airlines will always be remembered as one of the great pioneers of the air, they were the oldest airlines in America when they shut down, just ahead of Delta which bought them out. Northwest will live on as one of the greatest airlines to ever fly.
We've got a launch customer
OH WELL
This makes me cry each time.
Me too it seemed like they were going to have a great future 😭
If only Delta kept the order
@@gabrielb9010 They should have and use it on B767-332/ER routes while freeing the A350-941s on routes that formerly had the B747-451s B777-232s
My dad used to work overseas and everytime we dropped him off to the airport my mom would always tell me we would move to America one day and we're taking NWA. She would tell me that to stop me from crying everytime my dad leaves. I was 5 then. Im 25 now living in the US with my family. Moved here when i was 16. NWA was pretty much a symbol of an American dream for many filipinos back in the day.
T M Even my parents and grandparents moved to the US using NWA. That was in 2001, and then I was born and raised in Maryland.
sniff soooooo sad they never got this
My favorite airlines
Idk why but this made me tear up hahaha.
sam haase That is so cool, dude. ;u;
That final paint scheme was beautiful. Something about that silver and red!
Sorry, but the sun did set on Northwest Airlines. There's no trace of the airline in the aviation industry today. Northwest was a truly great airline. If only they were the successor, instead of Delta.
+EverUnited The sun set on the Northwest brand, but not really Northwest culture. Following the merger the management team at DL was more Northwest.. if you look at things like BoB, cabins (2-class), fleet makeup, hubs (minus JFK and ATL), etc.. Northwest is still flying and they're bigger than ever--just under the Delta brand. Also from personal accounts, most ex-NW employees are pretty happy about the merger. At the very least, they're not all pissed off like at US/AA and UA/CO. I do wish the Northwest name survived. I flew NWA a lot before the merger, always great. I only started flying Delta post-merger, and have seen a lot of improvements.. mostly thanks to NWA management, culture, and employees that carried over.
I like many gave much to keep them flying for 25 yrs even in leverage takeovers the people spirit was great until right at the end then kicked out like last nights bad dream
Hi Ever,If you get a chance to see an aircraft from Delta, check out the serial number on the tail. After the number there are two letters. If you see the letters "NW" those are the old Northwest planes. The serial number stays with the aircraft throughout it's life. Even if in a small way, Northwest does live on, and I will remember fondly the only airline I flew overseas, take care.
@@elumntsa DL still registers *new* aircraft with NW registrations!
@@upilufti The culture of NWA is what killed the airline, lets no romanticize it now. Delta has always had a recipe for success.
When I was immigrating to canada at age 6, I took Northwest Airlines from Seoul to Tokyo, then from tokyo to Seattle. I then took a vehicle up to canada. Very long ride.
That's bizarre.
+Yoni yeah. Pretty long ride
Short ride try Tokyo to dtw
I first flew Northwest Airlines to Japan when I was five years old to visit my mother's family for the first time. We were on the DC-10. I couldn't stop watching the Flight Attendants in their beautiful red uniforms. I knew right then what I wanted to be when I grew up and who I'd work for. I applied to one airline. I graduated Northwest Airlines Flight Attendant training one day shy of my 21st birthday. The 10 day Narita-Seoul trips out of DTW became my regular monthly trip and I'm 99.9% certain I worked the DC-10 over to Heathrow that I first flew on to Japan. I was fortunate to also be on the maiden flight of the 747-400 from MSP-LAX as part of our training. NOTHING gets my heart pumping like those big beautiful birds, but it's so sad not to see that big red tail grace the skies anymore. The memories will last......
What an awesome video of one of this countries oldest and greatest airlines of its time! Very powerful and moving! I spent four years with NWA in the Flight Kitchen and Reservations in SEA and will never forget Northwest Airlines, it truly will be missed but never forgotten.
Hello; I wish to know what is the name of the soundtrack of this video, please. I've being looking for this for more than 20 years! Update me if there's anyone who know. Best regards
+Brett Maas Thanks you so much dear Brett; Indeed it is the author you have indicated. Unfortunatelly, after i heard the whole album, this isn't what i'm searching for more than 25 years. I thought once that the soundtrack i'm looking for was produced by Dave Grusin, but still to be found. Maybe one of these days someone comes out with it, and then, i might be able to get it Cheers dear friend. Most appreciated your indication. Yours L.R. :)
This is awesome what some of the former employees of NWA are doing for the Number One to The Pacific "Bridging the Pacific 50 Years"... Anyone remember that painted on A/C left Door 1 of our fleet at that time from DC-9's to 747's ?.. Plus the first alliance in the industry NWA/KLM. Looking back now after many years what an airline we worked for. I was a F/A 1998-2001 DTW-MSP-NYC (LGA/JFK/EWR) NRT and South Flying was sooo fun out of the NYC base on reserve I got a lot of that lol... -MEM and finally LAX...I'll always enjoy my time at Northwest. Northwest gave me in 3 years what most people don't experience in a lifetime . Thank you for the opportunity and fun......GONG!!!.... Forever Northwest...and Northwest Orient... We should've never dropped Orient from our name... 1989 was a bad year as far as I'm concerned and I didn't come onboard until 1998. All for the almighty dollar and political correctness where are we now???
Flew with this airline when I was in High School. They had a great crew who really knew what they were doing. Even though I was a teenager at the time, I flew as an unaccompanied minor (probably because of my disability and i most likely needed assistance with navigation or i would get lost) the Northwest crew at DFW (If I remember correctly. My memory is a little fuzzy) were there to make sure i got to my intended destination 😀 I really miss this airline!
