Produced by Piedmont Airlines after the merger with USAir was approved, this video was intended to help make the combination of the two airlines as smooth as possible. It didn't. The $1.6 billion dollar purchase of Piedmont by USAir was, at the time, the most expensive airline merger in history. The merger was announced on March 9, 1987 and Piedmont's last flight was August 4, 1989.
