We didn’t get Pan Am’s MIA operation, just Europe (minus LHR, UA bought that). DL bought PA’s NYC operation while they were in CH11 bk in mid 1991. What was left (MIA) remained and went to CH7 liquidation at the end of 1991, where AA ended up with most of it.
I was based in MIA 55 years ago, DC-8's and 10's. 727's in '72 (NE)
