@flyingmama Agreed, the North American aviation industry is a joke.

@reckz420 I believe your correct. It started to peak around the 1980's.

Love the DC-10 at the end....

The 80's was a golden age for advertising as well. Commercials beck then were so much more creative, funny, and very often touching, like this one. These days you're lucky if the commercials don't feature a complaining turtle or a fool claiming to be the greatest salesman, and "I'm Lovin' It" is a lousy McD's slogan compared to "You Deserve A Break Today"!
The best we have these days is FLO from Progressive, the Muppets doing Habitat For Humanity with W.D.W., and the E*Trade Babies.

You know, not all the blame rests with the airlines. They Still compete in service standards, United's still a great example of that. The problem is people want all the service of a 4 Star cruise for the price of a greyhound ticket, Airlines are still a business and to keep flying they need money, Cuts have to come from somewhere if you want your 80 dollar Orbitz fare.

watching this makes me have tears in my eyes
80s was perhaps the best era of aviation in America, the service standard as well as technological innovations had made flying a real joyful experience, airports were expanding, airlines were competing to offer best of the class services. Then started the era of phfffff 90s, the mergers, acquisitions, failures and a downward spiral of on-board service standard. Now its only a bit better than using greyhound buses.

Thanks for the video, it is very touching...
It's a shame that airline industry was swallowed by corpated greed, when the bad time comes, instead of sacraficing across the board in the company, they had employees take several rounds of pay cut, extend working hours ( in my case maximun of 14.5 to 18.5 hours per day) cut benefits and lose pension; while the CEO took 40 millions pay along with upper managements taking enomous amount of bonuses, it was very hard to swallow for the employees.
