And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Kooky outfits once worn by ‘Braniff International Airways’ flight attendants.
That was when Braniff painted their planes pretty wild colors as well. The first 747 I saw landing at Dallas Love Field (before DFW was built) was a bright orange color - not quite Day-glo but close. They also had light blue 727's and other wild colors reminiscent of hippie culture posters of the late 60's and early 70's.
Braniff only owned one 747, the one you saw. Aggressive maintenance kept it flying for more hours than the competition. In 1969 I worked as a ramp rat for them. When it came to uniforms, the pilots flat refused to wear something other than their railroad conductor getup. Post Army and newly married, I worked there while finishing my degree.The company was a decent place to work.
They look like pajamas. Was there 'coffee, tea or me?' action going on in the upper deck. Don't tell me, what happens at 36,000 feet stays at 36,000 feet.
Back when women were women and everybody else was not. Anybody that denied reality was beaten to a pulp on the spot. When most people were not cowardly, lazy, braindead assholes, and the gov't wasn't overtly criminal.
I've flown only 4 times in the last two decades. Two were for funerals. 14 years and counting. The TSA was enough for me. Not dealing with those assholes no more. Security Theater bull.

ReplyDeleteBack in the day when stews were young, slim and good looking, but in regards to these ladies and in my opinion simply not enough flesh visible.
ReplyDeleteAaaaaaah, the '60s.
ReplyDeleteLittle too much LSD on the sugar cubes in that executive board.
Hence their disappearance as a commercial entity.

ReplyDeleteThe good old 'I Dream of Jeannie' days
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy if they brought back the concept that 'the passenger is the customer' concept. If I never fly commercial again it will be too soon.
