Big mistake for AMR to buy them ——- 6.5 billion dollars FUp $$$
Memory serves, it was $500 million AA paid for TWA and they received 190 planes in the deal. That amounts to $2.6 million per plane. Pretty decent cost per used plane. (Mostly MD80s, with some 717, 757, and 747s.) There were some other liabilities. But, you may recall it better than I.
Incidentally, the last TWA plane is planned to be retired by AA end of this year, 2018, so they got some good flying out of the aircraft they acquired. Oh, and they also got some loyal PAX and a bunch of pilots and FA thrown in as a party favor.
