Status BEFORE FF programs began...

Just curious...

Before the days of FF programs, how did airlines treat regular flyers? Were upgrades given to familiar faces at check in?

How did airlines track Million Mile Flyers? Did customers send in ticket stubs?

I know the the AA Admirals Club was at first invitation only to VIP's. Did other clubs have similar policies?

Were f class sections often half-full? (Yesterday, was on a 777 with 46 in Y but every seat taken in F becasue of all the upgrades).
