"Tokyo, HKG, KIX, PVG, TPE SIN, PEK, ICN, BKK," JFK, you mean the Asian business cities NORTHWEST pioneered air service to?

IT WAS PAN AM who got their first, that's right...NOT United.JFK777 said:N by NW,
Your sense of humor and reason are Cuban. IT WAS PAN AM who got their first. I'm sure in NW's version of the Pacific this was a conveniently forgotten fact. THE CHINA CLIPPER in 1936, that was 11 years before NW flew its DC-4 from MSP to Japan.
While NW has an illustriuous history in Japan and Asia I'm sorry to be the one to remind you, PAN AM did it before you guys. By the way flying to Guam and using a valuable slot at NRT when it could be used for another transpacific service is the wrong business decision. UA isn't of drinking age yet in Asia but they purchased the franchise that is your father.

And BTW, I'd consider the ailine that coninues to expand in it's domestic markets despite ever dwindling ticket prices AND LF's to be the idiotic A-Holes preventing recovery for the industry.... Any ideas who tht could be?
AA's traffic is insignificant across the Pacific compared to NWA/UA and the Asian carriers. I'm sorry if you think I am imperial because I don't buy into your BS that NWA is something of a second rate competitor. You seem to be detached from reality. Northwest is one of the strongest US carriers standing. We are not perfect, but we KICK A$$ in what we do. So if you feel that UA/ AA/VS/ BA serve your needs....fly'em.JFK777 said:N by NW,
Just because AA dosn't have beyond rights to Asia from Japan doesn't mean its not important to Japan. How many passenger does NW fly from Chicago to Japan these days? NW USED to fly from O'Hare to NRT but gave it up to the two hub airlines, UA & AA. NW feed from DFW is probably a decimal point, so N by NW get off your imperialistic high horse.
