Such a beautiful flight attendant. A true stewardess in every sense of the word. Great commercial from the good 'ole days. Thanks for posting this!

Sharon was a truly good person. That's what made her an effective and friendly flight attendant. Though she always had a smile on her face, and was good to everyone, she also understood how to be professional and how to best represent American Airlines. She is most likely 62 years old now (2012), but still must be very attractive.

Good ol' days of flying. I remember travelling on Scandinavian Airlines as a child in 1981. The flight attendant took me up to the flight deck. It's a shame (but understandable) that we can't do that nowadays.

I remember the jingle, huh, been a while.

I remember seeing these great AA commercials during my early teens when they really meant something,not just a punchline in a commercial. Funny enough it was the pride shown in these that made me want to get into the airline business.I worked as a steward (I never got uptight if I wasn't called an f/a)& showed the same pride in my work for 8 years.Got sick & tired of seeing so many other employees who only saw it as free flights & a paycheck.I left & now show the same pride in 5 companies I own.

I'm one of the lucky few that can remember what it was like flying when staff were proud of what they did;cared about their profession;f/a's were regarded in high esteem;they didn't see passengers as an obstacle to the end of their day;passengers were polite & dressed up for the occasion. These AA ads personify that era of decorum & refined flying that has given way to employees that only care about their bottom line and passengers that expect everything for a flight they paid $50 for. Very sad!

My dad tells me in 1970's to early 1990's, most airline give best services to their passanger, like very delicious food, on time schedule, polite and friendly flight attendant, etc.

not like today, airliner throw shit at us and treat us like a sardines.

It is going to be sad when AA is bought out by Doug Parker and merged with US Airways.
