• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Pan-Am

Came across this in my travels. SWMBO liked the series before they canned it prematurely. I am a bit of a Pan-Am nut. Nice variation on the usual Sinatra tune I thought.
 
My mother was a Pan-Am stew, back in the 1950's. Back when they were the glamour gals of the airline world. Not to mention when air travel was a very refined, and enjoyable experience.
Then she met my father, a UAL pilot, and well, there I was. Pan-Am frowned on their stews getting pregnant, let alone getting married to the competition, so that was the end of her career. To the day she died, she wore the make-up, nice clothes, all that good stuff.

A real good friend of my parents, and his family, were Pan-Am, too. He started out as a pilot, but was diagnosed with narcolepsy. Kinda ended HIS career as a pilot, fast, but he stayed on a Scheduler. Until he retired. Kinda unique experience for a kid, sitting there listening to my folks and him chit-chat, and suddenly he was asleep...

Yeah, we were very UAL through the years, obviously, but Pan-Am was real familiar as well. As was American, and Learjet, but those are different stories for another day.

Thank you for the post, Naismith! I just wish my mother was still around to see it :)
