Northwest seems to be holding their own. |
Northwest seems to have a better grasp on what it's doing than Delta does. Delta raises fares and announces a sale at the same time. Northwest is making the adjustments they have to. |
Now is not too early to buy your summer, Thanksgiving and Christmas tickets. |
Obviously, the airlines have become way too dependent on computers, ... Imagine a computer glitch and all the Wal-Mart stores across the country shut down, (founder) Sam (Walton) would come out of his grave. |
