Not quite. Had AA not been so eagerly greedy and rushed to buy up TWA, they wouldn't be in as much of a financial mess as they currently are, and furloughs would more than likely have been a lot less.
To top it all off, those former TWA folks who are now just seeing the pinks slips, would have been handed them, along with their hats, years earlier.
The TWA folks just can't seem to get it through their heads that TWA is gone, kaput, period. There are no "TWA routes" or "TWA aircraft" anymore, they are all AA routes and AA aircraft, and have been for quite some time. Yet, the TWA folks, especially the F/As want to keep using the "us vs. them" language. There's no happy medium, TWAs commander in chief raped and pilaged that airline to the point of zero profit, then ran with overflowing pockets straight to the bankruptcy judge and offered up the TWA employees as labor sacrifices. He could have cared less what happened to any of you. . . and so it seems none of the former TWA employess cared either.
Lambert is a piece of crap smelly dump of an airport and AA should just pull out, they don't need it. All they wanted was the maintenance facilities and now that those are in jeopardy of closing, it's time to pull the plug on Saint Loo and stop throwing good money after bad decisions.

Well, I'm almost ashamed to say it, but I agree with almost everything in WnP's post.
