It was not a joke, this is when flying was flying. Nowadays its not the same. stewardesses had class, passengers had class, it was CLASS all around. Now its a zoo !!!

In the end it wasn't the unions nor the recession that did Braniff in....it was the huge over-expansion just after deregulation that made Braniff vulnerable...All the other airlines gradually increased their routes and capacity....Braniff vastly increase their routes...especially international routes after the deregulation of 1978 . It's the top execs who brought it down.

For a number of years before my dad died he was very ill having suffered a stroke and my mother could not leave his side. When I was between the ages of 5 and 12 Braniff would arrange to have one of their stewardesses meet me at the departing gate and she would watch after me during the flight on my way to visit my grandparents from Dallas to Des Moines. This was done at no extra charge. Braniff was the greatest !

Yup! All we can do is wonder what would have happened if Troy Post had not bought Braniff and installed Harding Lawrence as president.

I still remember the Braniff's flight attendants mod uniforms when we would pick up my aunt at Love Field in Dallas (coming in from Nashville) back in the '70s

Yeah, then they decided on dark orange. Cha Cha Cha...

"This was a time when airlines competed with their service, not ticket price."

It was also a time when Hijacking happened with some frequency....Somehow, the country did not respond by locking the country down, invading other countries and groping your grandmother and kids....How far we've fallen...

Thanks. Also a Braniff Brat. Pop was a night shift LIne Mechanic for 28 years in Kansas City. He passed away 6-25-11. We were real close. I'll never forget flying, going to work with him at night a couple times - and the good livlihoood provided by one of the Greatest Generation's greatest mechanics....
