They treated you like a valued customer who had just spent a lot of money for their service. Once the airlines were taken over by the feds to keep us safe they became like every other government “service”... pay more, wait in line, be treated like a criminal, and be thankful we let you do it at all.

And guess what? Flying was even better in the 70ies. To good for sheeple, so DS set false flags by terrorism.

Whenever the government or business take something, it's never regained without a fight.

I flew out to California for a trip in 89, and had my first Sierra Nevada pale ale and fell mad in love with it. I carried a case as my carry on for my flight back.
