Seems like the only thing standing between Jetblue and total domination of the Florida-SanJuan-New York skyway is TWA.

Another reason why AMR purchased TWA?

Not really a historical relic enthusiast so to me that thing is just ugly. Bulldoze it.

well...since it is considered one of the top 10 most important buildings of the 20th century, I don't think that will happen.....but thankyou for your input latreal

Do you want to wipe out all references to TWA everywhere. What next? Editing all the movies TWA planes are in? BTW, I'm glad the people of Paris didn't get their way when the Eifel Tower was past its original 5year expected use.(And I'm not comparing the 2, just the situations) The terminal is already considered a landmark. You've discaarded the people at least leave us our history.

I find it extremely arrogant of JetBlue to be talking about building themselves a terminal at such a young age. I realize they have ordered a bucket load of new tin, but the fad of their product is wearing thin and not even JBlu can keep up the kind of fares they are operating on forever. Airbus is so inundated with orders right now I get a feeling they'll start doing rush jobs that end up putting maintenance hogs in the hands of airlines. Hmmmm, is that a good thing?

Keep the historic front of the terminal. Flight Wings 1 and 2 should be bulldozed. They are not really "historic", are ugly and obsolete.
