Vintage Ads: Southern Airlines - Second Class

[HCShannon]

When I was a kid, I used to watch cartoons like Eek the Cat, Rocko's Modern Life, and the Critic, and they they showed first class on a airplane as getting all the best things, like pools and parties and better things and the people behind them were treated like shit! Is this where they go the idea from?

That commercial was so hilarious! What happened to the days where you wouldn't see a Stewardess because she was in the galley making water lillies for your salad? Now you can't even get a butter knife on board. I say, making training 10 weeks long and do six weeks safety and four weeks service!

That's my Uncle!!! Rusdi a mime genius! 1st American mime to perform without face make-up. He would rock the 3 piece Brooks Brother's suit and perform everywhere.

On the French Metro train, in the middle of intersections, on stage and screen, but best of all. Rusdi would visit his twin brother, (my Dad) and perform for us in our kitchen. Rusdi! You inspired me to perform! Love Yuri Lane 'Human Bewatbox"! R-I-P

In the early 70's On my first job I had to fly from Bham to Memphis about three times a month. I loved Southern. Free beer.
