  • Liveries vanish in many TRUE mergers without affecting service or clientele (PanAm/National)(TWA/Ozark)(De­lta/NorthEast)(Alllegany/Piedm­ont/PSA/AmericaWest) when working conditions are negotiated and honored, specially seniority all is well! AMR/AA American Airline never merge, they acquire (American/TranCaribbean)(Ameri­can/TWA) both acquisitions of gates, routes and assets, but the work force? The majority are vanished! Out of 18,000TW employees a mere 3,000 still are employed by American

  • TWA was a great airline, I will always miss them.

  • @TWTR4EVER Believe me, You were the Lucky one to be Terminated Prior to The merger, The more Flamboyant Attendants, never even got close to a Position with AA

  • that's awesome

  • @andrewhurricane Also, whilst there are Part 121 start ups who could buy them, it would be like buying a 737 from Southwest (given Southwest has repeatedly been caught violating (and in turn bribing Officials) Maintenance regulations). A question of "How long before this plane has another maintenance fault? And do we fix it? Or do we do the Southwest thing and just say we fixed it?".

  • @andrewhurricane Given AMR's orders with Airbus and Boeing, likely the only thing that would happen is the sale of the remaining aging fleet of MD-80s which is what the new 320s and 737s are replacing. And those would be sold to the Part 135 operators who want larger aircraft for business clients (Which is why Boeing is doing extremely well in sales of its Business fleet (modified versions of the 737, 747, 767, 777 and 787).

  • too bad... TWA probably was a wonderful Airline. Now its shitty AA...

  • @abehammy well honestly I was too young at the time to realize or understand the present situation haha (only 15yrs old now) but I do wish AA wouldn't have fired all the TWA employees, rather than just demolish the company they should've actually "merged". As far as liveries and stuff goes I like both so I do wish that planes previously owned by TWA could still fly those colors even though they're now actually AA. Just my opinion though I don't know the politics.

  • @Duhello88 What do you think they should have done instead when acquiring TWA?

  • @abehammy they acquired all their assets including aircraft routes and gates. If you're asking like why TWA disappeared it's just because AA repainted all TWA aircraft, ticket counters, gates, etc.

  • This made me cry.

  • What is the name of the music playing?
