In the early 1970’s I worked at Denver’s Stapleton airport on the fueling system for United and Continental. The workers on the tarmac referred to the 737’s as “pigs”, because they were short and fat.

I used to fly between Dallas and Houston on Southwest in the 70s and 80s. 15 bucks oneway, no reservations needed, no invasive searches and the best looking flight attendants in hot pants. the only way I'll fly now is a have to case, instead I'd rather drive for 3 days.
