Trans World Airlines Flight Service Manager Wing
This insignia consists of two pieces. The top portion was worn by pursers. When both portions were worn, then it was a Flight Service Manager Wing. Before the rule changes (after the 1986 strike), domestic FSMs wore the lower portion under the Flight Attendant Wing.
While the pilots wore their 2nd Issue, the Flight Attendants changed theirs three times. In this particular wing, there are two varieties. One where the bar below the wing is permanent and the other where the bar below is removable to enable change in title.
