I was at TWA also and am very happy to be at American now. We have a very strong future, and I have no interest in flying freight.
Please speak for yourself as you certainly don't speak for me or other former TWA pilots at AA.

Now Boys !....
I too am x TWA... two comments;
"go out and get 1000hrs.PIC?????"
How did you even get a job in the first place?? when I was hired in the eighties you basically needed 2000pic to walk in the door??
and to the AA/TWA guy... your touchy feely views of the "acquisition" are certainly not the norm for most of us who are left.
