Last Operation Date
The article says it was December 31, 2009, but the article says that it continued to use Northwest in its reservations systems until January 31, 2010. Would that mean January 31 was the last date Northwest operated? --Shadow (talk) 02:22, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
- Northwest's FAA Air Operator's Certificate (certificate NWAA301A) was withdrawn from use at midnight Dec 31/Jan 1 with select overseas operations using the callsign until flight completion. At that point only the IATA "NW" code was a booking identifier until PARS's bookings were dumpted into DeltaMatic on Jan 31 and NWA.com was withdrawn.32.179.95.172 (talk) 18:37, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
- That's not correct. I don't care if the certificate was merged, but the NWA ICAO code was used until the night of January 30/morning of January 31, 2010. Look up any flight tracking website for proofs. HkCaGu (talk) 20:26, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
- You are correct, my bad, the call sign was Jan 30/31 (Should have checked a.net), but the AOC did go away on Dec 31 (aircraft painted as "nwa" even carried "Operated by Delta Air Lines" stickers).[1] 32.179.94.131 (talk) 22:52, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

"Insider Trading"
I removed the section concerning what the previous editor described as (unlawful) "insider trading." The citations in this section provided absolutely no support for the assertions made. The section suggested that several individuals had been sued for insider trading. There was no citation supporting this assertion. Instead, the editor posted records of SEC form 4s. Form 4 is routinely filed by corporate insiders. When these insiders trade it is often called "insider trades," or "insider transactions." These events have nothing to do with the unlawful activity suggested by the last editor.Please read detail on lawful insider trading at: http://www.sec.gov/answers/insider.htm.
The section also contained a reference to a "media spectacle," yet did not provide a single citation. JerryGraf (talk) 15:09, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
