Well, looks like we are going to see (for a short time) DC-9s at LAX that don't say Aero California and have curtains for window shades. NW is flying a daily LAS flight that makes no sense, except that they are flying it timed to connect to the NW 1. The funny thing is that the first few months it will operate with one of NW's ancient 9s, to be replaced by an A320. This makes no less than 8 carriers in the market now. Funny stuff
