Just watched "ER": is a "TWA" really a "Third World Assasin" (given I'd understood it right)? --Newbie (CH) 20:08, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Name change
In the movie The Aviator, there is a reference to a name change for the company. If I remember well it was something like "Trans Western Airlines" before Howard Hughes changes it to Trans World Airlines.

- TransContinental & Western Airlines became Trans World
[edit] Mention TWA 800
Should the TWA 800 accident be mentioned on this page?
- I'm amazed it hasn't been already. That omission has been corrected. Skybunny 00:23, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I feel that the modest mention of flight 800 is appropriate, but considering we just passed the 10 year anniversary, it may be worth noting that the cause of the crash is still speculated greatly by the aviation community (check out the airliners.net forums). It seems that this disaster left a large mark on TWA, particularly since they went out of business only five years after the crash (for reasons not involving the crash IIRC). --StatsJunkie 14:41, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Commented section re: AA assuming debt
I have commented this line:
- many analysts believe the TWA assets were not worth the additional debt inherited from TWA
The reason is that my understanding is that AA only acquired the assets of TWA, and not the liabilities. Do we have sources pointing in either direction? —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 03:51, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fleet Size and Destinations
Shouldn't these two fields be set to null since TWA, technically, has no planes and no destinations?

[edit] Mention Karabu deal
I think adding this is relevant to TWA history, the results says by itself. Is there any problem? Dayniac 14:07, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] World's first all jet fleet
Actually Air India claims to be the first all jet airline when they went all jet in 1962.
