Mon, 13 Nov 2000 20:55:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gkao - "What else can I drill now?"

Don't Fly TWA

Tue, 26 Sep 2000 22:04:48 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author gkao - TWA - The Worst Airline

I'm an open-minded guy. I listen to others and then form my own opinions on situations. So when friends swore to not ever fly TWA ever again, I listened to their stories with a grain of salt. I held off from forming...
