Thanks for the response and that makes it all very clear. I applaud TWA (in this particular case) for their pro-American stance and for supporting our men in uniform.
That might have been it. The man at the ramp desk told me my seat had been changed from a twenty something to 2B.
I was a young man and said OK. I boarded the plane and for the first time in my life was directed left. LOL!
Just enjoyed the space and pineapple juice.
That was my one and only time flying first class.
Thanks TWA
