Legacy of the Skies

The last day of TWA. April 10, 2001 American Airlines bought TWA. With a vengance they set out to destroy one of the grandest airlines in aviation history. July 1, 2003 all TWA flight attendants were furloughed. To date not one TWA Flight Attendant works for American Airlines.

Thumbs down!

I would agree. We were taught that you should treat passengers like you would treat a guest in your own home. Not so sure thats still in the airline service manuals anymore.

As an AA F/A, buying TWA was the biggest mistake AA could have done

[twaladybug]

I would agree, as we have NEVER been welcomed by AA or its flight attendants. Pity - we could have negotiated one of the best paying and working contracts in the industry.

At TWA we were treated like adults. At AA/APFA we are treated like bad children.

I lost my career because of the flight attendant union along with the blessings of AA. I had 35 years of experience.

I have never heard any of the AA employees complain about flying to former TWA routes. we never came to the table empty handed.

I just noticed that the phone book that arrived at my door the other day still has TWA's phone number in it...almost 7 years after the fact...I wonder why.

@twaladybug>>> FYI>>> I was nostalgic recently watching the George Clooney film "Up In The Air" in the scene were they are in front of the 3 dome terminal in Lambert Field (STL) and he makes the historical reference of The Spirit of St. Louis & Charles Lindbergh it came clear to me that the airline that should had been featured was TWA, not AA, they lack the prestige & the history that was needed in that film, totally! Delta is hiring a new class this fall, I'm thinking of giving it a shot!

American won't stop until they destroy themselves.

you flown

PAN AM (1927-1991) and TWA (1925-2001) the greatest American commercial icon forever. No one can come close to them...

I hAAte every thing AAbout American Airlines they are nothing but Bullshit or as useless as my ass. Honestly american is a cheesey airline (major Pun intended) *rimshot* whose CEO has been Reading Mien Kampf instead of the bible.

Here Lies TWA

Gone But Never Forgotten

I HATE U AMERICAN AIRLINES I AM SOO PISSED @ U 2 THE POINT THAT I'D BET THAT THE ZOMBIE OF HOWARD HUGHES WOULD WALK UP TO THE CEO OF AMERICAN AIRLINES AND SHOOT THE CEO DEAD WITH AN AK-47 AND THE ZOMBIE WOULD TAKE A MAJOR SHIT ON THE CEO'S CORPSE

[twaladybug]

@coasterboy600 I would agree. TWA was by far the better airline. We were treated like adults and we treated our passengers with respect. AA hasn't a clue how to treat employees or passengers.
