Minnesota’s homegrown airline. Long live the red tail B747, DC10, B727, B757, B707, and Airbus fleet. DC9s too!

NorthWORST airlines

And now josh is a Stanley cup champion.

Proud to have been part of NWA. Will forever live in my soul ❤️

I am so Proud to be Part of the NWA Family! JFK

Just found this, it makes me sad! Thanks for those good memories in NWA. Class 03, 1990 TPE base

I was proud to be a cleaner. Loved the people I worked with & some of the managers.

My father worked for northwest when I was a kid and I will never forget how much I admired his job. Now that I’m grown I now work with sun country airlines… I love it but it is shame that I never got to work for NWA. -Gone but never forgotten-David Duvick of SCA

Northwest Airlines offered skilled pilots to newly born Japan Airline when they started flying back in 1953. NW hired Japanese,Philippino,Hong Kong Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean, Thai, Singaporean,Malaysian and main land Chinese as flight attendants considering needs for local boardings. NW treasured good relationship with Asian people as a global airline. The name used to be Northwest Orient Airlines. After aquiring NW, DL got rid of asian cabin crew one after another by closing the bases. In 2020 Japanese crew had to leave the company after the closure of long lasted TYO base. I've been a flight attendant from 1979 to 2014. How I loved the red tails. I miss the Chili served in canteen on MSP training center so badly.

Simpler times...

I loved working for NWA in the Atlanta maintenance base and on the Detroit flight line

Just found this. Made me so sad. Flight attendant 2000 to 2005. Class 7 of 2000

Spent five years with them as a flight attendant. I was WAY too young, turned 21 in training....live in Manila Philippines now....Thank you NWA

Great Video!! Great Airline!!; Miss You All..

Sask boys are the San Quentin of hockey!

I worked for NWA for 38 years until the abolished my job just before I turned 60. Over time in many positions from the ramp to the hangers to cargo and into an office. But I was gone before they went bankrupt. Yes, Imiss them some, but bad management and the leveraged buyout did them in.

I never got to fly on Northwest Airlines and it’s still sad. Great song, “Wind of Change” by Scorpions went well for this video. I remember when they existed. I know the world was well served by Northwest and its people.

I held a ceremony praising the death of the DC10

I spent the mid-‘90s thru the late-2000s on Northwest aircraft regularly. Sometimes multiple legs each week for my job at the time. NWA was a huge part of my life then. Rickety DC-9s that were immaculate, fancy new A319s & 320s, and everything Mesaba had. The airline fit me like my favorite shoes, and its people felt like my friends. I could almost write a book about my NWA experiences. My career changed right before the merger, and my flying dropped from weekly to once or twice a year. And it’s not the same. I still have my same battle-worn carry-on, and I still proudly rock my WorldPerks tags, and dozens of ratty green Mesaba gate check tags still hanging on for dear life. Every once in a while a flight attendant will notice. Most don’t. It’s different now. I’m a number, not a person. I’m glad I came across this video today. Thanks for posting it. Rest well, old friend. And to the NWA people from that era that may see this, thank you. You did make a difference.

Piss poor management practices and.............................................

I miss Northwest, so many flights as a child. MSP-LAS

I never had the chance to fly with NWA as a child growing up, but it still remains one of my favorite airlines.

My Step Dad was the a jack of all trades Northwest Orient manager in Las Vegas in the mid to late 80's. Between the years 87/89 as a result I was had the privilege of going into the back area's by just mentioning Jim's name. A co-worker friend of his took me out on day to a NWO Charter 747 on the other side of the airport. Prior to passengers boarding I had the opportunity to explore the whole section of the aircraft interior as if I was a passenger. I also got to visit the cockpit. Another time I was able to see the Air France pull up to a Delta gate from ground level. Talk about loud! Twice as loud as a 727 at the same distance. Those were neat times!

My first ever flight was on Northwest when I was one in 2005. I was flying from Baltimore to Detroit on the beloved DC-9. My parents first flight was on Northwest when they came to the US from India in 1998. They were on the DC-10 from Mumbai to Amsterdam and another NW plane I forgot. Nevertheless, I will never forget you, Northwest. Northwest is the greatest airline in history and its not just because I’m biased. It’s a fact. I’ll always love Northwest. Now, when I look at how flying in general is less fun, I feel the impact on Northwest. I love you Northwest. Thank you for flying billions of people around the world safely and comfortably. I love you Northwest

Northwest Airlines: The spirit of Aviation

Spent 18 yrs of my life working for NWA , in Minneapolis and Atlanta as a Aviation Maintenance Technician. I’d would have started my 32 yr . But management screwed us all for money in their pockets.

I thought Pan Am was first customer of 747, and Eastern for the 757...?

Sask boys are tough as nails. Glad to see Daves doing well.

Wheres the picket signs?

I was in the hiring process just as the Delta merger happened. So close.

Whether it was over seas or between states all I flew was northwest. The last time I flew with NWA was a flight from DTW to Narita, Japan. Flew Delta home. That was when I learned. Gone but not forgotten in their past passengers. Thank you NWA for all the flights I had with you. Memories will not be forgotten.

How did i get here in 2016? This is not even close to anything I was watching.

Thank-You SOC....

That's the delta terminal now at MSP I know an employee who works for Delta at the airport

Always Red tail to me RIP North west😭

This is really a two part video if you know the history! At the first part it talks about the leveraged buyout. That was really when Al Checci and Wilson took over the airline back in 1989. Then as it continues it get to the NWA / Delta merger. I was surprised to hear my voice in the video running a checklist. At the end it goes thru the last of the freighters. I flew the second flight out the first day of the Anchorage base opening May 1, 1991. I was the Co-Pilot on the last freighter flight from Anchorage to Chicago December 26, 2009. That was the day the Anchorage base closed. It was a very sad day. But as mergers go the Northwest / Delta merger was probably the best in airline history.

did Delta Force the take over or was NWA bought out

As an employee for this company for 30 years, it was a bitter sweet moment when I had to leave, but I have incredible memories of most of the people I worked with, the accomplishments made, and incredible experiences that will be with me for the rest of my life. Thank you for this video.

Song: "Wind of Change" by Scorpions.

I dont get the end of the video...I mean, people carve the company's name into their hearts...please nobody works for free and companies get rid of people like dirty diapers...there is no victimes here, and NWA was acquired by another company! employees were also aquiared or sent home to retire with a compensention, so no one owns nobody nothing, yeah it sucks becuse we give our best, spending time away from home and loved ones and all that, but we do that because we like it, nobody puts a gun again our heads to do it (there is a difference between being a good employee, and "sleep with the company" ) So the message at the end looks like a betray...please get real, this is the real world

Just a correction. Northwest was not the launch customer for the 757. Eastern Airlines was the launch customer for the 757-200 and Condor was the launch customer for the 757-300. Also Northwest was just the launch customer for the 747-400, the video showed a 747-200.

I knew what I was going to be and who I was going to work for when I was just 5 years old. It was my first trip to Japan to visit my mother's family. We flew Northwest Orient. I applied to ONE airline. The ONLY airline!!! l achieved my dream. I'm so proud to say I will forever be a part of the greatest airline family EVER! Love to you all!!!

Always loved the red tails.

Wow, what a great tribute to a great carrier.
