AA still operates flight 1, JFK-LAX, what's up with that?
Flying into BOS last week, I heard FLG 3407 check in with final. I thought that I must be hearing this incorrectly?
Two days later we're inbound to BOS, the way our pattern worked out, around 11:30 a.m, when FLG 3407 checked in. I keyed the mic, and voiced my concerns about how disrespectful the use of this trip number is on the victims and families of Colgan 3407. Silence. I looked on Flightaware, and sure enough, 3407 operates daily MEM-BOS.

American Airlines (AA) #1549 FlightAware
Ahhh... 1549 at American, to New York none the less. The outrage.
I don't see what the big deal is. It is just a flight number, nothing more. Heck, United still uses the flight number from the PDX DC8 crash (amongst others). Now that is much more weird than UA103 versus Pan Am 103, it is just a coincidence about the date.
Not exactly. IIRC, they accidentally used them as a Star Alliance codeshare numbers or something back when the COA callsign was still being used.
