My 2 cents:

I have very good memories of flying TWA when i was a kid (CDG->TLV).

Lately i flew them on a TLV->LAX and i had very bad experiences with ground crew at JFK (rude and not helpfull at all.)

I am also a CO elite member and realy enjoy this airline.. Seems to me that CO was in an even worse situation than TWA.You can see what can become an airline with a good managment and great worker benefits... CO is at my opinion one of the best airlines. The problem is them flying 737 on transcon..

I just had TWA matching my plat status and i will enjoy the TW transcon on wide bodies planes... I am really looking forward to see the twa improvment since i really believe that they can do as good as CO did.. They just need a real managment....
