AA bought Eastern's routes in 1991, and Eastern had acquired them from 
Braniff in 1982. United acquired Pan Am's former Latin American division. 
years ago, Pan Am was the U.S. flag carrier to the East Coast of South 
America, and Braniff the U.S. flag carrier to the West Coast (Braniff had 
acquired Panagra back in 1967).
