Which made it much easier to tell the respectable people from the hoi polloi.

So true. I remember as a kid taking a cross-country flight. I thought it was so neat we were served breakfast with real silverware on real plates with real silverware and cloth napkins. Stainless steel forks, knives, and spoons. Can hardly imagine such a civilized world even existed.

PanAm was unionized up the wazoo. Once competition opened up, they were unable to compete. They kept operating at a loss by selling assets and leasing them back, until there was nothing left to sell.
