Once the classiest airline we had in the skys until James Carter's administration de-regulated the industry --- really sad !!

This video was most enjoyable. It brought back so many positive memories. The only thing that was undesirable was the man smoking. If During that time, I could not afford to fly, I can now afford to, but refuse to do so because to travel by air today produces much hardship. Talk about travail!!
Thank you,

Fewer planes in the air > fewer plane accidents more careful, courteous passengers > fewer injuries = no need for seatbelts.
More planes in the air > more plane accidents more idiot passengers > more injuries = they had to invented seatbelts. LOL

Also interesting that they did not wear seatbelts, as if there were no airline accidents and safety rules..... ahhh, those commercials told such flowery tales back then, didn't they?

I've been thinking about this, and I think it's the struggle of quality versus quantity. This was quality - 1958, when there weren't so many people. Nowaday, everyone wants to be treated like first class, and yet they won't pay for it. So, that's why Pan Am ceased. They couldn't give any quality for the quantities that wanted it, without paying. (Whew... better stop thinking now. :)

I hadn't picked up on that point, but -- yes you are so right. I cringe everytime I see kids going to school today dressed in ?????????? I don't know what to call their wardrobes other than disrespectful

Yes, very sad. Also interesting to see how people dressed up to fly back then
