If buying Pan Am ended up being a bad business move, it wasn't because of Pan Am.

1. You strike DAL, you get a free trip to the Moon. 2. If you ever flew PanAm equipment, most of it had one foot in Arizona. 3. The six empty JT8D boxes in India pretty much gave DAL an idea of PanAm's inventory control. I have no idea about NWA, except they sent me the bill for my physical. Good ol' Nyrop.
