This is Part 1 of 2 of a TWA/AA Merger Promotional Video that was sent to all TWA (and possibly) AA crew members. I am AGAINST the merger as my dad flew for TWA since 1990, on the L-1011, 747, 727, and 757/767, and the merger was obviously devastating for us. That being said, I liked the video soley for its videography and music...I do not like how well AA portrayed the merger to be, and then destroyed every TWA person's career.

***I did not mean to break any copyrights in uploading this video-I jjust wanted to share it as I have not seen it anywhere else.***

  • is this the whole video? could you post the entire video please? thanks!

  • The whole thing is like 12 mins long, and goes into the history of TWA...maybe I will when I get a chance.

  • Yeah, I heard about im, but I don't know completely how Ichan helped to de bankrupt of TWA

  • He's a coporate raider...H buys companies and legally destroys them. He got contorl of TWA in the 80s, and began selling their most profitable routes (STL, JFK, LAX, SFO, PHL, BWI to Heathrow) and many others. Eventually TW couldn't make a profit. By the time Compton came in and tried to turn things aorund, it was too late. During his time, TWA ordered 125 new 767s, 757s, and 717s, and began retiring the old 747s and 727s and L-1011s, but TW could not recover from Ichan.

  • This video makes me cry... TWA is still (in our hearts) an Excellent airline... Feel the freedom to fly!... TWA= We're up to something good.

  • Thank you...I agree. My dad flew for them since 1990 and was furloughed in 2003 by AA after rising to 757/767 F/O, just about to become Captain.... God damn AmericanAirlines, and Carl Ichan (especially him).

  • You know it's weird that that number one question asked (what's the song called?) has not been answered!

    Can anyone answer it?! I want to know to.

  • who is the singer and the song?

  • Does anyone know what the song is they play and who it is by?

  • Codeshares are OK for a while but mergers like these are HIGHLY UNACCEPTABLE!

    TWA shoulda take AA down instead.

  • wats the name of the background song?

  • @flyusair Yeah, the post 9/11 Enya-like song was better.
