I was a flight attendant for Eastern in 1985. Too bad it's days were numbered 😢

Thanks I flew from BRU to Newark in the mid 80th paying onbord, the return flight had a female captain at that time not common, What a splendid business idea We have south west and Ryan air now flying low cost, the flag carrier struggels with constant huge losses like SAS, but SW and Fr are making money, they have grown into huge airlines, unfortuantly Fank is gone. Now we have online booking ticketing so Peoples business model would work much better today. Some one should start this now, also the fuel consumption is much less.

Nice video, thanks. I was a regular PSA pax in the 70's when we lived in San Diego, GREAT AIRLINE. I was 15, 16, 17 years old and fell in LOVE with every flight attendant on every flight. Because of PSA I started taking flying lessons and got my license when in high school, later became an Air Traffic Controller. Still a pilot and aircraft owner 52 years later.

Make no mistake, the union killed Eastern Airlines. We would suck up the money Eastern lost every time they went on strike. It was gravy. I’m for collective bargaining, but you got to know when back off. It does your family no good to have to start all over again when they should caring about school and the like.

Ironically, airlines in the USA are still failing today. Recently, Hawaiian Airlines was bought out by Alaskan Airlines, because its only other option was going bankrupt and shutting down. Now in addition, Spirit is in severe financial trouble. The failed merger with JetBlue may be the end of the airline within the next year unless someone else tries to buy it out like Frontier - but it is not doing particularly well either.

Seems a bit odd, he hasn’t noticed his nails were not cut yet and looked a bit grubby as he reached out pointing towards the overhead nozzles and lighting switches. Plus a tiny wart too on his finger … an interesting report but awfully typical of that backpacking trip experience for the flight. It’s informative for that year, aside all else said.

It's easy to blame it all on Lorenzo. The Unions were destroying the company and Texas Air was primarily interested in acquiring System One computer. Naturally, the assets were being moved to Continental, a solvent and growing concern. When the unions struck, Eastern management was given the choice by Lorenzo to liquidate or rebuild. They chose the latter. Assets were moved back from Continental in the efforts to resurrect the airline. A number of factors, including soaring fuel costs and recession finally gave the unions their wish. Borman had been hated as well. The old timers would say, "Same hate, different Frank." I know this comment will stir up some hate from those who were duped by the unions. Always does.

I've heard of a Boeing -707 but i guarantee that i have never heard of a Boeing-720 but maybe you meant Boeing-727.I loved ATA because after my ATA took off from Honolulu the nice flight attendant invited me up to first class cause they needed me to translate a different language to a passenger.

Just because you share a name with a much loved legacy airline, doesn't ensure success. The original Western, was one of the pioneer airlines in the U.S. and people had affection for these airlines. Their exemplary service, the family like feeling between the employees and knowing that you were a part of history and something spectacular, goes a long way towards building a successful company of ANY kind. Many people who try to start airlines with a legacy carrier's name, think that the name and sentimentality will bring them success and money. It doesn't work that way. An airline requires a major investment in time and money and you must LOVE the airline business. This is a service industry above all else and your employees, as well as your passengers, can tell rather quickly, that you don't have their best interests, safety and comfort in mind. Speak to the former employees of any airline that fell victim to greed and mismanagement. Especially the airlines that were once "powerhouses"; Pan Am, Eastern, TWA, Continental, Northwest and Frontier. A name alone, will not give you the "Midas touch"..😞

thanks for educating me about PSA more thoroughly! i'm a SoCal kid but not old enough to have experience with them... although I've loved their livery & interior palettes for a long time. just curious why the image at 8:20 is very obviously LAX while talking about game-changing departures from SD & Oakland to destinations in Nevada

So, it's fall 1985 and I had just finished my 3rd AIT school in the Army at Ft. Devens in MA and caught a People's Express from Boston to Newark. Last seat in the back row right next to some psychotic woman in full body leather who kept belching in my face and trying to lick my ear...they run the Pay Cart down the isle after takeoff and she's still going totally psycho. No help from a stewardess - I pay my bill when the cart comes by - and elbow blow the nut and put her to sleep...still trying to forget that little hop from Boston to Newark.

I was working at the Ala Moana Hotel when that last crew arrived to check in. The announcement of suspended operations came shortly after they arrived but we knew a little before it was coming. I was the manager on duty and our GM told me that the crew members needed to pay us directly for their rooms as the airline owed us a huge amount of money. I felt so bad for the crew and gave them some free meal vouchers to help them save on the added expense. Ironically, I was in their shoes when the airline I flew with (Rich International Airways) had gone under in 2006 and was faced with the same predicament when we arrived in San Francisco after an overnight flight from HNL - DFW and I ended up getting a flight from SFO back home to HNL the following day. The crew were very kind and sympathetic to us on that flight home. ATA was a good airline and it’s sad they couldn’t stay aloft.

Eastern was the last major Airline to go all jet. I was a Steward ( flight attendant) in the 70's for Eastern and actually flew on the Electra ( huge prop jet with First Class in the back). We got Franked by both of these men!
