You are so right about Pan Am. When I worked for AA in the early 70's Pan Am was an icon. Now, what is left of it is part of Delta.
You knew they were in trouble when they sold their building in NYC. Unruly labor problems and poor management did them in. No one ever thought Pan Am would fail because they had been around for so long.
Beware! It can happen to any airline.
