Air Traffic Control - In the days of the 707
I came across this FAA Information Film and thought some of you might find it interesting. (www.youtube.com) المزيد...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
That was fun to watch. Lots of things have changed but it is interesting how many things have not...
The '99%' could easily afford the around $13 to fly SF-LA on Poor Student Airlines (Pacific Southwest Airlines).
I liked the collection of paper tickets onboard. In those times everyone paid the same price for a ticket. Now you can display a QR or barcode on your phone and get onboard. You might have purchased at the last minute and paid $ 1,800, and the folks next to you that knew a month ago when they would travel paid $ 200.
The amazing part is that airfare is not that different today as in 1963. The higher prices in the 60's did keep the rif-raff off the planes.

You could fly SF-LA on Poor Student Airlines (Pacific Southwest Airlines)for, what, $13? Definitely affordable by the 99%!
I only titled it as the days of the 707 as it was the dominant aircraft in the film, so sorry for any confusion.
As another commented, people dressed for a flight "back in the day".
