1990 Commercial: American Airlines "The On-time Machine."

[TechForThought]

The one from 1988 says the 9 largest domestic airlines...how quickly the fall

Interesting how the exterior livery for American hasn't really changed during all these years.

Who does the voice in the commercials? I can't put a name to a voice, but it's familiar and oddly enough soothing.

American is the best American airline, despite having the worst on time performance this past year.

[panamcunard]

American Airlines still got a great on time reacord.

@panamcunard yea they really do actually

[JimmySand9]

Of course American doesn't operate any of those old AirCal routes (save for LAX-SFO), nor does USAirways operate any of the PSA routes.

Very true. That's what Southwest Airlines observed also, so they came in, filled those routes, and became the dominant point-to-point carrier in the state.
