This is old news. They only use the "C" and "B" concourses since Nov 1, 2003. That only amounts to around 30 ish gates, several of which are always empty anyway. Same old AA.

really don't think Icahn (please learn to spell it correctly)

Ohh little guy, Sorry...Did I not spell it correctly..?

Oops, I will try harder..

BTW, no one's pay doubled except Compton's. Mine was about 20% increase...for awhile. Now, it's zero.

Not so?

Going from TWA pay to AA "A" scale was only a 20% increase?

Hmm, my 3rd year AA F/O pay was just over $100K per year.
The TWA guys, after several pay-cuts did not make much more in the left seat?

Back in the late 90s a B-747 captain with TWA made $116.000.00 per year guarantee. ..B-767 and MD-80 capts went down to 90--80K.anually if they were senior.

Plenty of junior F/Os jumped ship so as to seek their future and fortune somewhere else...(before 9/11 remember?)
