NWA Sells 7 DC-10's to ATA

NWA sells seven DC-10s to ATA Airlines

Tuesday December 5, 5:39 pm ET

Northwest Airlines Corp. has agreed to sell seven DC-10 aircraft to ATA Airlines Inc., according to court documents.
The Eagan-based airline, which is trying to reorganize under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, wouldn't disclose a price for the aircraft, saying that doing so would hurt other DC-10 deals it wants to make.
Northwest, which filed for Chapter 11 in September 2005, last month ended its use of McDonnell Douglas DC-10 planes for transatlantic flights, using Airbus aircraft instead. The Airbus planes have much better fuel efficiency than the older jumbo jets.
Northwest once owned two dozen DC-10s, but it's been selling off the fleet since 2005.
Following the proposed sale to ATA, Northwest (Pink Sheets: NWACQ - News) will only have one DC-10 airframe, 15 spare engines, miscellaneous flight-training equipment, and other equipment and spare parts unique to the DC-10 fleet. But it still wants to sell those items, and detailing the price paid by ATA could give a competitive advantage to buyers, the company argued.
A hearing on the sale will be held Dec. 14. Published December 5, 2006 by the Minneapolis/St Paul Business Jo

I heard we tried to sell them to FDX, but they wouldn't promise to keep them upright...

I keed!

That was pretty classless.

Maybe ATA will hand over more B757-300s to Continental.

Try sipping the bourbon. That way you'll be able to tell a joke from a serious comment.

I endured plenty of "drunken Northwest pilot" barbs, and I think the FDX guys can handle a joke.

How's this one: "Southwest, report the intersection..."

Now THAT'S classless!

I guess they needed something to replace the L-1011 fleet?

When someone rightfully calls you on something razor, you always answer with this crap. Just face it and admit that you were classless in that last comment.

When someone rightfully calls you on something razor, you always answer with this crap.

1. "rightfully" is not your call.
2. Look up the word "risible" when you have a some time between Mensa meetings.
2. Since it's the first time I've used that line, your assertion that I "always use that crap" is incorrect. Go swift boat someone else, pilgrim.

Just face it and admit that you were classless in that last comment.

Huh? You don't agree with me? You don't think it's funny?

Lemme give you some advice, Poindexter...

...this is an anonymous internet forum. If you want to be somewhere where a thousand strangers agree with you 100%...go to the Big House in Ann Arbor and shout "Ohio State sucks!".

Otherwise, expect a slightly different perspective than yours from time to time.

Sheesh!
