Merge proposal
I propose merging Pan Am (1996–1998) and Pan Am (1998–2004) into Pan Am. Both pages are poorly sourced with Pan am II only having 4 sources total with only 2 of them being considered “reliable” per WP:RS. Pan am III has no reliable sources and only archived images that are used as “research”. I could find no reliable sources of these companies other than blogs and mentions of them in articles about the upcoming Pan Am (see wp:INDEPENDENT). I propose that the content from these pages be added to an “attempted revivals” section of this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fife SB (talk • contribs) 16:03, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
Tenerife disaster
Looking at the history of the talk page, it seems that the Tenerife airport disaster was at least mentioned in this article in 2007, but no longer appears anywhere in the article. It seems like the airline's involvement in the worst air disaster in history bears mention here, even though KLM was at fault for the crash. KiraLiz1 | she/her 20:10, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
The stewardesses
They don't count as crew according to the current wikipedia page. Pan am treated them like avocados. Only the very few were just right - the right height, weight, age (literally "retired" at 32 - pensioner, right??),marital status and childlessless. So they were attractive enough and without obligations to.. prostitute themselves? This should be a main aspect of the page, not the glory of this airline, built on the backs of women trying to make it in the world. 94.254.103.143 (talk) 23:25, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
