Just the Valentines Day news I didnt want to hear. I fly alot and US Air is about the crappiest airline around. American is just a few shades better but now I expect it to decline some taking on that fluxed up carrier US Scare.

I take a more positive viewpoint on the merger. Without a doubt, the worst airline I recall from the past quarter-century was St.Louis-based TWA.

In the amount of space available, I can't begin to enumerate the horrors of TWA ranging from lost baggage, surly stewardesses, incompetent, senile pilots (protected by seniority rules of their union bosses), late departures and so on. The best thing that ever happened to TWA was its elimination when American Airlines bought it. A lot of needless deadwood was shed when TWA was rightly euthanized. I still recall the concourses closed at Lambert (IATA: STL) when TWA was put out of its misery.
