The net loss, after adding the cost of vandalism, severance pay and guards' salaries, was about $15 million.

It failed in a bid to broaden its horizons to Pago Pago, Papeete and other South Pacific spots. Not even close connections in the White House did much for an other loser, American Airlines. Its former chairman, C. R. Smith, is Johnson's Commerce Secretary, but American's application for a Tokyo run was rejected...
