Reply #5: Hmmm... this is fishy

From nwa.com:


Northwest's and KLM's trans-Atlantic joint venture, the airline industry's most advanced alliance, will continue in place pursuant to the long term agreement between KLM and Northwest. Northwest will continue to serve Schiphol Airport as its main European hub.

The Northwest/KLM joint venture will operate on a ‘business as usual’ basis and will continue to compete, as it does now, against the Air France/Delta alliance.


Compete against a sister airline?!! Not likely in my opinion.
