Northwest or Continental--Newark/Detroit
I'll be flying RT Newark/Detroit in early July. Both airlines have the same prices and similar schedules. Does anyone have strong recommendations pro or con either Continental or Northwest for a weekday domestic flight (reliability, likelihood of cancelled flights, etc.)?
I'm planning to make my reservation today, but though I'd check here just in case someone sees this Q, has an opinion and replies fast. Thanks.

I have had bad experiences with Northwest Flight attendents also have heard similar complaints on this forum and from friends. I would always select Continental over Northwest. Newark being the hub airport and probably the more heavily trafficed of you flight schedule I would go with them.

Continental and Northwest codeshare on a lot of flights. If you see a flight with a particularly "high" flight # (5000 or above), chances are another airline actually operates the flight. So you can buy a Continental ticket just to avoid Northwest, only to end up on a NW aircraft!

Thanks. I decided to go with NW mainly because, if the flight I chose is cancelled, the next flight that I might get would be sooner on NW, and in general there seem to be more NW flights to Detroit. I have flyer miles on Continental, but I understand that NW is a partner airline. Also the friend whom I'm visiting is more familiar with NW, because she usually has to take NW when she flies from Detroit. This wasn't a huge decision really. Thanks for all the opinions.
