Landing starts with 'l' not 'a', perhaps you meant:

Alitalia: Always late in taking-off, always late in arriving?

but having flown with the pompous bastards from time to time, I can
tell you it really stands for:

Alitalia: A little Italian tradition and lotsa Italian attitude

I heard TWA stood for Travel With Arabs (or is that dated (early-mid 80's)?)

Reminds me of a joke:

An attractive stewardess on a TWA flight asks a passenger if he would like
some of her TWA coffee. The passenger replies, "No, but I would like some
of your TWA tea".

Here are a couple of true ones.

A stewardess actually did ask me if I was "Mr. Wright" one time. Of
course, I didn't hear the "W", and I volunteered to help her find out.
We joked about this for the rest of the flight.

Another story I saw posted in a more tasteful group, and which the
poster claimed to be the truth, was about a "Mr. Gay" who worked for a
major airline. Mr. Gay had planned to take a flight if there were seats
available. Airline employees flew free under those circumstances, I
think.

Mr. Gay got on the plane, then it was discovered that his seat would be
needed by a paying passenger. The stewardess came back to where Mr. Gay
was sitting, but she spoke to the gentleman on the other side of the
isle, "Are you Gay?" She asked.

The man got all embarrassed, and said, "Well, ahem, yes, why?"

Then the stewardess said, "I'm sorry, but you'll have to take another
flight."

The _real_ Mr. Gay then stood up and told the stewardess, "No, you don't
understand, _I'm_ gay."

Another guy jumped up and yelled, "And so am I! They can't throw us
_all_ off this damn plane!!!"
