Ah, so nice to see a post on the TWA board. It's been too long since I had to type those three letters together; T-W-A.
I have mixed feelings now about the AA purchase of TWA assets, especially with the entire industry in the tank and AA losing money. I bet the folks who worked in the airline industry just prior to TWA 800 and then into the purchase couldn't have imagined the situation as it is now in their wildest dreams. It might actually have been a blessing in disguise because, for instance, I'm sure there are some JFK based FA's, mechanics, ramp, gate agents who now work for Jet Blue. Nice to at least work for a growing company that seems to know where it's going.
