You are correct. Alzheimer's kicking in. Icahn took over in '85 and BK in '92. Point was, TWA (i.e. Icahn) couldn't make money from '85 till '01? And stay in business?
Just the profits alone from the London routes, sold to AMR, paid them off within a year. TWA, until 2002, made many people wealthy - just not the employees. If it's not true, then why did Compton never come back and fly the line?
