hi guys, as you probably know, CO is now going over to STAR, does that mean Delta will be dropping their codeshares with CO therefore meaning CO will no longer be a part of the schedule or what?

thanks in advance.

Yup; once Delta stops codesharing on CO flights, Continental will magically disappear from our schedule.

Cheers!

On the bright side of things, once the Northwest Merger goes through we will have a ton of new Northwest flights. They have lots of 744 runs to Asia.

We lose a lot of good flights though. I see HKG-EWR being flown at least weekly. Not too mention a lot of regional flights.

Yeah. I will miss HKG-EWR, but I am more excited about having Northwests 747 flights.

It will be interesting to see what happens to the cargo schedules once the DHL contract expires. Hopefully the freighter fleet will remain operational.
