Good vintage airline footage and, because AT&T sponsored it, a lot of telephones.

Shows the varied forms of communications used by commercial air carriers in confirming reservations, preparing aircraft for flight, monitoring aircraft in flight and maintaining air-to-ground contact.

@crissy214 Actually, many people from that time are still alive. My Grandmother was 40 in 1965 and is still alive.

@MealyMouthedLeach Dear doughboy, what you just said made absolutely no sense. Bye now.

@Michael55443 Only so, because hanging and the electric chair were keeping everyone on their toes.

@LateNightCable Dear Up-Too-Late, I think you're comparing the changing role of your parents within your family with the role of the male pilot of the air plane. . Who would there be, who would take the place of the pilot, ever? A concierge, maître d', the President of the United States, were he to board? . Let me know if you can think of anything/one. . . Cheers. from, del-boy

@crissy214 nope, not all those folks would be dead by now but that air plane would by now, definitely be out of service.

@drumdude46 It is still a privilege.

The Boeing B727 was used longer than the B707..in the early 1980S most carriers retired their B707 but the B727 continued flying into the 1990S.

Just so we're clear, "these people" were not you and me. During this time routes and fares were regulated on a cost plus basis. That means you and I could not afford to fly. Then we finally figured out that airline seats were valued by consumers as nothing more than a commodities. Alfred Kahn deregulated the industry, cost was driven to marginal cost, and everyone could now fly and were able to increase their social welfare. It's really very simple. Quit your complaining and go see mom.

@markhinr Those of us who are old enough KNOW people were indeed more polite and courteous back then. I worked for the airlines back then and it was very different. Flying was usually a pleasant experience that people looked forwarded to and enjoyed. Now, it's a chore.
As far as the money goes, I remember being able to fly as a student with money earned from part time jobs. I bet it took a student the same amount of time to earn a trans-con trip then as it does today.
