 BW Online | April 16, 2003 | How AMR Landed at Bankruptcy's Door
American's recent troubles began with the unprecedented decline in passenger revenues since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The disparity compared to low-cost airlines such as Southwest Airlines (LUV) is huge, though American and other large hub-and-spoke carriers continue to maintain a material -- though narrowing -- lead in total revenues against these competitors.
Big U.S. airlines were under pressure from equity analysts and institutional investors at that time to "return value to shareholders" by distributing "free cash flow" and proceeds from the sale of noncore assets.

By the 1980’s, it was apparent that the corporate flight attendant/third crew member needed to be "corporate specific" trained for emergency and first aid incidents as well as having culinary and impeccable food service experience.

I am proud to say that approximately 70% of the people that we train that have also attended "corporate specific" emergency and first aid training that have the ability, skills, attitude, and the aptitude to do this type of flying are all flying either full time or contract today.

Organizers said that because the one-day trip to the WWII memorial in Washington, D.C. on April 21, 2007, will be their first, they don't want to take a group any larger than 70 veterans, who will travel for free, and 30 "guardians," who will pay their own way and assist with wheelchairs and meals.
Cameron formed a board of directors for Honor Flight Michigan to plan the trip so aging WWII veterans from south Oakland County can visit their monument, which didn't open until 2004.
A meeting point in south Oakland County is expected to be announced later for veterans and guardians to gather and then travel as a group by bus to the airport.

 Flight 625 AMS-MEM diverted to Gander
Back in the days (before my time, I hasten to add http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif) when aircrafts used on long-haul had a more limited range, they would stop in Shannon and Gander for refueling on both sides of the Atlantic, hence why those 'middle of nowhere' airports have capacity for large jets.
What I thought was interesting is that if you checked nwa.com flight info it showed the flight as a one-stop and not a non-stop.
I guess if there is a change in flight plans they have to officially report it.
