The Centennial Story — 100 Years of American Airlines

American Airlines turned 100 on April 15, 2026, tracing its lineage to a 1926 Charles Lindbergh airmail flight from Chicago to St. Louis. This module gives candidates the historical narrative — Robertson Aircraft Corporation, the 1934 consolidation of 80+ small carriers, the TWA acquisition in 2001, the US Airways merger in 2013, and the "Forever Forward" centennial campaign — so they can answer "Why American?" with depth, not platitudes.
