Pacific Southwest Airlines 1987 commercial

[MrDAVIDBETH]

the only memories my husband has of PSA 1987 is his uncle.....flight 1771

[748cowboy]

AHAHAHAHA there morons who crash into other planes

[Schumom]

@748cowboy If you're referring to the 1978 crash that resulted from a collision with a Cessna which was in PSA flight 182's flight path after 182 was cleared to land...

Considering the 144 lives that were lost that day, including passengers, crew and other PSA employees on flight 182, two people in the Cessna and seven residents of the neighborhood into which the plane crashed, I hardly think your "AHAHAHAHA" is appropriate or respectful. It was a devastating tragedy.

[utubeguy35]

Southwest wannabees.

[rockinconcorde2]

@utubeguy35 not true southwest came out after PSA

[Schumom]

@utubeguy35 Southwest Airlines got every idea they ever had from PSA. Southwest may be enjoying some success at this point, but PSA did everything with way more class! My dad flew for PSA and, after the merger, for USAir. A Southwest pilot once rode jump seat on one of my dad's flights and actually told my dad that Southwest owed all the former PSA employees a big thank you for paving the way to make Southwest the airline they are today. How could PSA be Southwest wannabees when PSA CAME FIRST?

[Capt777harris]

A class act company. I really miss them.

[zenmachinefilms]

PSA was my favorite airline. Definitely had a positive attitude overall, with smiles on their planes, and hot "stewardesses". Life was good back then. Damned shame what USAir did to them, pure greed. Typical corporate American BS.

[wazithefreak]

Bitter-sweet ad considering that USair was buying them out. 

[schnellguy]

PSA used to say that there flight attendents were Pure,Sober,Avilable.

[dfgilbert]

I miss PSA so much! cool looking planes! great service! And affordable!

[TheGreatFlyer]

Cool old commercial! Amazing video! Please subscribe back!

[bonklers1527]

I thought it is a plane crash .. not commercial

=)

[Bens464]

There is so much better technology for ads nowadays... But this was in the 60's or 70's...

[Bens464]

Nevermind, I forgot to read the title.

[Iluthra]

PSA was the first airline I ever flew on. I loved it. I was heartsick at the one crash referred to here. I can't recall the other one.

[Schumom]

Second, PSA only experienced two crashes of commercial flights during its almost 40 year history. The one you seem to be referring to involved a terminated USAir GROUND employee who, in December of 1987, boarded a PSA flight , shot his former supervisor (who was a passenger on the flight), both pilots and himself. A total of 43 people died. While its true that this incident did result in the requirement that flight crews pass security, it was NOT, in fact, the pilot that caused that crash.

[mrcolombiano25]

whoa that was 8 months ago i wrote that, i never thought of PSA since then

[Schumom]

haha! Well, I just came across it today. I grew up in a PSA family and hate to see any misconceptions floating around about them. They were a wonderful airline, like a family.

[DiecastOasis]

I recently dug up my dad's old PSA 727 Model... about 1.5 ft long...

[Phyrescape]

That's gotta be the best jingle, even the shortest version, EVER!

[hosscollar]

Anyone know what their website is? I'd like to take advantage of their 60% off deal.  : )

[MattieCooper]

Awesome!!! My father was the manager in SFO and Burbank for years....

[mistaphill]

I remember back in the day when it was PSA vs. AirCal, before Southwest really came in strong and took over the short haul market

[jakenestor]

why did PSA go out of service?

[Iliketoboard]

They didn't go out of business.  USAir bought them, told them they would keep the San Diego base, lied to them and completely fucked over every employee there.

[zwitekwookie]

Sounds like just about every other airline takeover. It's sad that the TWA, PSA, and Pan Am's of the world are gone.

[jimdep333]

Eastern, National, Braniff, Pietdmont, Ozark and Mohawk Airlines as well, to name a few. Almost all of of the legacy carriers demise can be blamed on one individual. Former president Jimmy carter who implemented the "airline deregulation bill". Google it.

[IberoCalifornio]

Karma is the equalizer. USAir ran PSA into the ground & their stuck up US East Coast mentality. Food on china full service meals on intra calif flights it was ridiculous.PSA was the national airline of Calif, & original concept for Southwest since under the CA utilities commission. USAir more than fucked over the PSA crowd and I cried (i was n grade school) & mom was a state funtionary & we'd commute from SMF-LAX/BUR/SNA or SMF-SAN then hop to TIJ on AM to visit family in Mexico or Spain, sigh.

[IberoCalifornio]

Now i just think it's so hilarious to see Karma come round when USAir ran themselves into the ground with their grossly dumb business practices that killed PSA and America West, a low cost carier, bought them out but kept the US Air brand now they're having the last laugh. I just feel for the old PSA crowd that lost everything with USAir and now lost again like their pensions, AGAIN with the America West merger...

[jimdep333]

Blame it on Jimmy Carter. The mis-guided president in the late 70's. He signed an "airline deregulation" bill that changed the airline industry forever. I used to love flying as a kid. Hot meals served on china with silverware. Smiling stewardesses. Less crowds.

[BettinaBalser]

@Iliketoboard Yep. And they would go on to be bailed out of bankruptcy by America West, yet somehow manage to retain the USAIr name and fuck over every AmWest employee in the process.

[mrcolombiano25]

Im pretty sure that there not here any more cause a few of their planes went down, and they lost money cause of lawsuits against them.

I know 1 went down cause the airline pilot shot the co-pilot and himself, thats why they require that pilots have to go through airport security these days

[eduardonpimenta]

PSA was a great airline, they had the best female flight attendants!!!

[poyoman34]

siiii

que wenas q tan

xD

[garys737]

Flight attendants should ALL be FEMALE.

[Sidekick4Life]
