Makes you wonder if AA changed it to TWA would it be more popular? Sadly of course AA will NEVER match up to TWA standards, but maybe it may have helped? Of course higly unlikely, but one must wonder.

I haven't had time to get online lately but Tommy I appreciate that explanation, you even threw in there the TWA example for comparison, interesting stuff!
I don't know why but I've never liked how the USAirways name sounds. Even though it might be a more coveted trade name than "America West", I preferred how the latter sounded. USAirways sounds like the name of a virtual airline or something to me :D
hoping for the end of the plain plane
Here is the latest news from SpeedNews:
"NORTHWEST AIRLINES received US Bankruptcy Court approval to reject/abandon 115 aircraft: three 747-400s, nine 747-200s, 28 757-200s, eight DC-10-30s, four DC-9-30s, 22 A320s, six A319s, and 35 MESABA Avro RJ85s."
Look like there will be alot of busy bankers ferrying planes around in the next few weeks.
Although NW got permission to terminate a large number of leases, the actual probability that they will return ALL those aircraft is low.
Permission to reject current leases is leverage to negotiate new lease rates with the lessors. It is most likely they will get better rates on the majority of the equipment.
The AVRO's, however, are most likely gone.
It's the fares, stupid
