My paternal cousin worked for BA on long haul flights from 1974 until she started a family in the early 1990's and then got posted to Terminal 5 at Heathrow until she was made redundant from BA in August 2020 due to COVID but she always says the 60's 70's and 80's were just such a glamorous time flying. The girls were better educated than they are today

I'm 44, I've been flying since 1983 and it was always a real treat to fly. Europe, Australia, England, all around North America, it was truly a pleasure to get on a plane, and get off in a completely different culture, mindset, country. These days, like taking the city bus or underground, especially after 11 September and on towards today, it's just something I try to avoid. I remember working so hard to get a ticket to Iceland, and a hostel, or New Zealand for a week sleeping up and down the beach in the sun, Czech Republic staying with friends in Prague and clubbing. It's almost as if they've made it as unpleasant as possible.

Half seven get up? That is civilised. When your check-in is at 2:30 am and it’s cold and dark and there are no busses running the “sex” of the job is somewhat illusionary. ps. W@nkers like the captain giving the bridging often complain about their tea and coffee. I wonder why? Maybe it’s where the water came from, the journey the teabag has taken or the “special” added ingredients.
