Ok, I've got a weird question: A couple of months ago I flew on what I thought was a Delta MD-90 from SLC to DEN, when deplaning in Denver I saw that one of the pilots was african-american. At this point I was at the back of the plane and not wearing my glasses so I didn't get a good enough look to see if it was Doug or not. When I got up to the front said pilot had gone back into the cockpit and I was in a huge hurry (the plane was delayed an hour in SLC) so I didn't really have time to check. I posted on here and asked Doug if he had flown that route that day and he said that he hadn't and that he didn't think that there were any other Delta MD-90 pilots who were black. I did then remember something on the speaker about "this is a skyteam flight operated by partner Aero Mexicana" or somthing like that, but I didn't think much more about it. Fast forward to tonight, I'm surfing around looking at airline sites and I find myself on Aero Mexicana's site. I noticed that they don't fly MD-90s, the only other thing it could have been would be a Fokker 100. I do remember the seats being a different color and in a different lay-out than the previous Delta MD-90s I had flown on, but the plane was painted in Delta colors and the FAs had Delta uniforms on. My questions are: Whats going on here?? Did I fly on a Fokker 100 for the first time without knowing it?? SLC isn't even listed on Aero Mexicana's route map, why are they flying this route? I've been on "partner airline" flights before (Skywest, Air Wisc) but the FAs don't wear Delta or United clothes. I'm confused...
