I miss the America West 747 PHX-HNL- Nagoya Japan route. The passenger name was inserted into your seat before boarding in First Class. They had Hawaii / Asian style uniforms and First class had a flight attendant assistant who was not allowed to talk when they carved your beef selection in front of you.

it has been said that this 747 plane and route was OKd by the Ameica West Board of Directors for the only one reason. They all received free flights for their families and it made no financial sense
