Come Fly With Me

This was Eastern Airlines in the 1960s, when the the phrase "Come Fly With Me" was thought to be scandalously suggestive. It was before the airlines discovered that the public didn't want attractive single stewardesses any more. They instead demanded matronly Flight Attendants, some with mustaches. It was also before the Eastern Airline's machinest union drove it into bankruptcy. In other words, when America was at its peak.

That one didn't go over well with the stews. In fact some wore pins saying "Go Fly Yourself".; 7/14/11, 12:26 PM

Anonymous said...: How about those wonderful PSA stews (Pacific Southwest Airlines). My Gawd there was a happy bunch. I was eighteen and on my way to Viet Nam when one of those lovlies said "Come back and fly with us real soon." In about a year, I hope, I said and she said, Going over? Yup. And, God bless her, she said, I hope to see you on the return flight and flashed a smile as big as what America once was and God willing will be again. That, boys, is what we're fighting The Restoration for. I have always hoped she has had a long and trouble free life, and married a really rich guy who treated her according to what she was worth to me at that very moment. We can all dream, I suppose.
