Northwest brand to disappear March 30

We have a better idea when the "Northwest" brand on employee uniforms will disappear for good if -- as now seems likely -- the feds approve the merger of Northwest and Delta. March 30, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Delta and Northwest pilots will both get newly designed hat brass and wings for their uniforms with a two-tone red triangular Delta "widget" logo. The rest of the uniform will remain essentially the same. The company decided to stick with the Delta uniform instead of designing a new one to save time and money and to speed the transition.

Does this look vaguely communist to anyone else?

Matthew: Nice observation. I wonder what the Field Marshal of the Delta SSR looks like...
