If you didn’t live through those times, you don’t ever want to read an in-flight menu or see photos of the food on a flight like that.
Ah, I remember good old PSA, where the stewardesses WERE the attraction. So much so, that they used that in their advertising. Something about aisle seats?
I would love to see that now, it would give the feminazis coronaries, and much the same to the old harridans that make up the stewardess corps these days.
In the late 80’s I was a print buyer for a large catalog marketer, requiring frequent flights to Chicago (Elk Grove Village was and likely still is a major hub for printing). I actually looked forward to the 7:50 AM direct flight via Piedmont. The breakfast served was not just merely edible, it was good. Silver utensils. All the non-alcoholic beverage you wanted. Hot towel service afterwards. Coach, Boeing 727. They knew how to treat their customers, unlike the airline that bought them.
