History of PSA Airlines and American Eagle Acquisition
Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) is remembered as the California-based carrier that inspired the Southwest Airlines business model. Known for its "smile" livery and flight attendant uniforms, PSA was eventually acquired by American Airlines and integrated into American Eagle. The transition resulted in the removal of the iconic smile branding and a shift toward regional jet operations.
