Thanks Mike but I'm way ahead of you on that one, LOL. Its decent video, a bit biases regarding Bill Compton. Compton did allot for TWA, more then any CEO TWA had in more then 20 years. He took an airline that was turned into junk and renewed it for the 90s and the 21st century. The nail in TWA's coffin was the deal they had with Ichan and his cheap tickets firm. TWA basically gave seats away to Cheap tickets to get Ichan to step down, sort of a double edge sword. If TWA didn't have that around their neck more then likely they'd still be around today with a new fleet, a massive presence in the Caribbean, Asian service to Tokyo (they had a slot from STL and interest in the 777 for the service), and lastly a new terminal at JFK. The deal with American was the only way of saving any part of TWA in the end.

Ok back to the yard work now...
