If it was all First Class, how did she get upgraded from Economy?
When you think about the onslaught against Mr. Trump, it’s absolutely amazing that he’s not at 5%.
I think a lot of people are going to sit this one out, whether they’re not thrilled about Hitlery or Trump.
That leaves the more involved citizens to vote, and the determination to vote will be more for Trump than Hitlery.
Hoping for very nasty, but not dangerous, weather all over the country on November 8th.
It’s the seriousness of the charge. Oh, what about Hillarys stuff?
You may be onto something.
Is it just me or do the years keep changing? Wasn’t it 1989 then 1984 now 1979?
“However, Braniff didn’t have 707 flights from Dallas to New York City, only 727s.”
Hopefully the story can be proven false.
But the above details are meaningless from 1979; hopefully there is more than that.
I have flown 3 times this year and can’t tell the exact model of plane I was on.
Nope.
That alone would totally invalidate the lady’s story. How can you be ‘invited’ to first class if the whole plane is first class?
My first girlfriend’s father was a mechanic for Braniff. I flew them a couple of times. The economy on Braniff was like business class on most airlines. The meals were served on fancy china with real silver - Flatware. it was not an economy airline. They had different classes but they were all nice, and all better than most airlines. That’s why they went bankrupt. They couldn’t compete in a cut throat market because they were never going to have anything close to the lowest fares. They were a luxury airline that catered to the wealthy traveler
There is zero chance I would remember a plane from a commercial flight 30 years ago—so even that claimed level of detail us suspicious to me.

Braniff was dying in 1979 and was all over the place with its marketing programs. I flew from San Antonio, Texas to Mexico City, Mexico during that time frame and the B727s used on that run had very tiny first class cabins!!! As a side bar.....most of the Braniff technical staff...jumped over to Southwest Airlines when Braniff went under....a very wise move!!! Braniff in its heyday was a terrific little, airline, operating mainly, between the USA, Latin, South America & Mexico. Later on, when it leased B747s, it ran between Hawaii & Texas!!!

Truth is no longer a defense to a political lynching. I offer you Anita Hill, Pocahontas Warren and Rachel Dolezal, the woman who faked being black and continues to do so.
Pick one, pick any to cover up a lie.
Is this not the story the turned moose upside down to the core???

It isn’t the same person...
Apparently there was a buyout/bankruptcy/reorg in the early 80’s. That airline was a discount airline:
https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/epbqm
“Two attempts to resurrect the airline failed. In 1983 the Pritzker family of Chicago obtained bankruptcy-court approval for a $70 million offer to revive the airline. In 1984 a new Braniff, Incorporated, launched its first flight with a fleet of thirty planes under the direction of president William Slattery, formerly chief of European operations for Trans World Airlines. Of the company’s 2,200 employees, 98 percent had worked for the old Braniff and agreed to return to work for lower wages. The low-cost airline, headquartered in Dallas, operated routes out of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airportqv to twenty-one cities.”
I thought it was spelled Branff.
Okay, sorry, Branff is in the Canadian Rockies. How I got those confused, . . .
