<_< ------ My, my, my, you do get around these days aa! As usual, your wrong again! Last word out of STL, the hanger there was staying! At least for the time being. And the old TWA hanger at LAX, is also! As for the Hanger here at MCI, we're doing fine, thank you! The City is pouring Millions$$$ into the old girl, and she's really not looking too bad. The place is full of shinny AA metal! And let me point out one little fact! Just because your old, doesn't mean your bad! I believe TUL is older than MCI!!! And AA at LAX has hangers that are older than TWA's! And you've brought up some interesting points! first when AA acquired TWA, one of the first things they did was gut this place! We as exTWAers tried to point out the fact that they were throughing away Millions $$$ in, yes, old, but serviceable tooling, and parts! New parts they couldn't be bothered with, because they didn't have AA part numbers went into the scrap pile!!We asked if we could buy some of it, and told, no way! I've personally seen this! They closed down one of the best APU overhaul facilities in the country. And engine overhaul! ---------- If AA wants to through out "old TWA" money$$$! Or not take advantage of assets just because they were TWA, we can't be held responsible for that! Another interesting point you've brought up! The fact AA is not taking advantage of TWA's Mid-East routes! This could be a real money maker for them if flown! Where's all that oil $$$$ going? Like it or not, that's where the money is!! Not at Heathrow! I know for a fact AA considered it. But quickly walked away from them! If AA doesn't have the back bone to fly these routs themselves, you know, they could resurrect TWAllc, and fly them under those colors!!!
--------Oh! another fact! TWA hasn't flown DC-9's for years before the aquisition!
