Yes, they did. They tried and it didn't workout so well. Not enough profitable. They losing the money and they pulled out of PHL-TLV completely.

Yes, TWA workers had it right to pay it back. They cannot be seized the plane when they landed in TLV.

Yes, they has done extremely very well. Lots of competitive. I won't expect to add 2nd daily SFO-TLV in the near future.

No, they won't. Let them keep that way.
