Former TWA Employees in Israel Escalate Battle Against American Airlines for Rights Estimated at the

Keeping an airplane? AA will use a leased asset. Legally, those can't be seized because legally they're not AA's asset. They're owned by the leasing company.
 
 
 

 
That may be true.  But there is nothing stopping Israel from keeping the airplane serviced with fuel, ramp personnel, push-back tugs, flight paperwork, security screening, etc.  "Yes, leasing company, you can come get your airplane any time if you can get on it without a loading bridge, and get it pushed from the gate.  Hope you can make it to Amman on what's left in the tanks."
 
 

All fine, except that the suit was filed against TWA, not AA.
 

 
Yes, of course.  But it really depends on whether Israeli law allows the liability of the defunct TWA to be placed on any successors, which would be AMR, and now AAG.  In the U.S., these employees would have been kicked to the curb years ago.  But, luckily for them, they can laugh with impunity at U.S. bankruptcy laws, since they don't apply in Israel.
 

 

TWA was injuncted. 

 
Small point, but I think the word you are looking for is "enjoined."

Here's what AA said about the TWA flight to TLV back on March 8, 2001:

AA said that TWA told them that TLV had lost money in 1999 and 2000, and thus AA was unwilling to continue the route and caused TWA to terminate it at the end of March, prior to the closing of the asset purchase. 

 
Would've of loved to see AA fly to RUH and CAI!
