TWA

TWA Former employees, family, children and friends of employees, and passengers remember TWA. It is a tremendous gift and honor to host this page. Thank you. cities.

This fan page is dedicated to my dad, a former TWA captain (33-year career), and my mom, a former TWA flight attendant. Childhood memories are strong w/ the now-cherished smell of jet fuel, cool airplanes, and airline folk who were unique, dedicated and decent. TWA was the best airline ever to exist, and its current fan following proves its legacy and all those memories will never die. I owe so mu

ch to TWA for fulfilling my Chicago-born dad's dreams, for making him so happy as a pilot. My Minnesota-born mom explored the world with TWA as a flight attendant, and through the fans' words on this page, I realize what a sacrifice it was for her to walk away after she gave birth to me in 1976. Because of TWA, I learned that one can love what he/she does for a living. The people of TWA were and are absolutely special and one of a kind. The work was special. The era was special. This is why I love administering this page...I understand and feel closer to my parents by being part of the TWA family. Now, a little history about our beloved airline:

TWA (Trans World Airlines) was a major U.S.-based airline with hubs in St. Louis, New York, and Atlanta. Focus cities were Kansas City, MO; San Juan, PR; and Los Angeles. TWA operated from 1930 until American Airlines acquired it in 2001. Prior to that, TWA was one of the biggest domestic U.S. airlines, operating flights to most major U.S. Beyond America, TWA had a highly developed Middle East and European network, served mainly from its hub at JFK in New York. Along with Pan Am, TWA was considered to be a secondary unofficial flag carrier for the U.S., and it was the unofficial flag carrier of the U.S. in the 1990s. Many tears shed when TWA flew its last flight on December 1, 2001.

My mother was hired by Trans World Airlines (TWA) as a flight attendant in the 1960s. Though at the time, there were no flight attendants…
