Southwest Airlines commercial circa 1972

Nice Video.

"damnit! its gonna take at least 4 washes to get that smell of JET A exhaust out of my hotpants.."

Swaflygirl,

What do you think? Try using your brain. And I know female pilots really get a shitty deal at Southwest.

I think I saw this flight attendant on one of my routes. Shame =(

They are still chauvinistic pigs over there at Southwest.

Do you speak from experience? I think not. Grow up and get a life. I am a female flight attendant for SWA and have been for over ten years. That "stupid" comment has never crossed my mind.

Good for you. Been flying SWA since 73-74. GREAT airline. However, I do have fond recollections of those Hot Pants. But too old now to do anything but "recollect" Sad.

first class leg room for first class legs. the rest of us get squeezed

they only had one take to do this becuase they only had enough money for one take. They had only 3 or 4 aircraft at the time. one of the aircraft was in reserve, (the one they were to use in this commercial).  However, one of the planes that was in service went down for maintainence and they had to give up the "Standby Aircraft". The one in this commercial is the one that went down for repairs. This explains the massive amounts of smoke coming out of the #2 engine

Sorry, but that's not thanks to the internet.
