“Re-regulate the airlines and bring back old-school Pan Am.
Time to bring back the elegance of air travel. Relegate the pajama-wearing caliber clientele to Southwest.”
They’d have to have a no-class section with aisle urinals for a lot of American filth.
Got a taste of the old-time charm of airlines when I first flew overseas back in (probably) 1957. I was just a new recruit, but we went overseas on a pretty new- at- the- time Super Constellation That had decent seating room. I think meals were provided, but we made a stop in Hawaii where we were put up at a nice hotel with Excellent meals. The only complaint I could see was the noise of the plane, which I’m sure was common back then. The last time I flew( just before 911) I remember them serving a meal on the plane for $10 & I didn’t think it looked anything like something I wanted to eat or even order if it was free. Needless to say, I haven’t flown since.
