A lot more people could fly after deregulation. That’s good. It’s the government that screwed up.

Braniff was good then too.

I can attest that yes, indeed it was! I was just a kid, but knew I liked girls and mini-skirts...

It was. It was very fun. There were U-shaped sofas in the back. The flight attendants would hang out there and chat. SWA was the oilfield feeder from Midland to Love field and then other points. Eventually there were direct connector flights to DFW and Houston. We were all a lot younger 50 years ago.

Those days are long gone.
Southwest couldn’t even paint one of their jets with a picture of the model on the front cover of Sports Illustrated some years back—without protests.
They actually did that,,,,,,,,and the outrage (from the public, and female employees) made them change the paint job.
