Founded in 1983 out of Phoenix, it grew from a scrappy startup into a major carrier that connected the Southwest to the rest of the country. It survived deregulation, bankruptcy, and fierce competition to eventually become the foundation of what is now American Airlines. For the pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, dispatchers, and gate agents who were part of that journey, America West was more than a job. It was a proving ground. This 12\" x 12\" vintage acrylic sign is a tribute to that legacy and to everyone who wore the America West wings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFinally, A Tribute to Your Airline Journey\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor decades, former America West employees have had almost nowhere to turn when they wanted something that honored the airline they gave their careers to. The America West name disappeared when the merger with US Airways was complete, but the people who built it never forgot where they came from. This sign exists to honor that chapter. If you spent years of your life building America West's reputation one flight at a time, you deserve something on your wall that says so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you flew the line, turned the wrenches, worked the ramp, dispatched the flights, or welcomed passengers at the gate, your airline was more than a job.
