Why do people running airlines not realise that reviving the brand of an airline that went bust almost never works ? Passengers don't care about how much employees enjoyed working for the previous incarnation - but they do remember the outcome when the last company went bust and they (or people they knew) were stranded.
The 'real' Pan Am had a really really good brand and even now people talk wistfully about what flying Pan Am was like. It went bust around 1991. There have been three or four reincarnations of Pan Am since - none of them have succeeded in a meaningful way.
I wish this new company well and if I have a chance will buy a ticket from them. I really hope however that they are sensible enough to create a new brand with an identity that the new management can define in the way they want but with no emotional baggage
