There's a special seat in Hell waiting for Carl Icahn!


IAWTP

I last flew them in June 1987. CLE-STL and STL-CMI (Champaign/Urbana, IL) Both flights were on ex-Ozark DC-9s, almost assuredly OZ cabin crew (TW had gotten rid of it's legacy DC-9s be then, though if the DC-9 and the MD-80 had the same type rating (after all, the early MD-80s were official DC-9-8* according to the FAA, I think only the MD-88 was separate (probably common with the MD-90, not sure how the MD-95 Boeing 717-200 fit in), then technically some legacy TW crews could have flown them, but I suspect not. F/As could have been a mixture, probably all STL-based. From C/U, I was going to NY, was originally booked CMI-STL on TWExpress (who knew what tiny puddlejumper that was going to be on) and then STL-LGA (could have been 727 or MD-83), but they reebooked at the last moment, CMI-ORD on a Britt Air (dba Continental Connection) Fokker F-27, then UA 727-222 for ORD-LGA. This was a trip that started out JFK-CLE on a Pan Am 732 (ex-Luftshansa), so the 722 looked huge after all that. After a few days in NY, back to LA on a UA DC-10.
