Does anyone have memories of Freddie Laker's
Airline, since he started the discount airline craze?

All I remember is hearing a story that he went bankrupt and shut down.

The airlines I remember from Commericials:

National with the singing Flight attendants
"I'm (fill in name of female flight attendant) FLY ME!"

Eastern: which used to serve Florida and be "the exclusive airline to Disneyworld." The commercials (in English and Spanish with the silver and blue jet flying over blue skies!)

Pan Am: I really regret I didn't fly one of their flights. I have a mug I bought when the
crew set up a store at Grand Central Terminal
to try to buy the airline.

I've already talked about People's Express,
the official airline for East Coast College students.

Not bad for a kid of 32! (And several hundred in CAT years!)

I'm so disappointed that I don't have any interesting airline stories to tell. Someone should put these tales in a book for youngsters like & jamiel to see "When FLying was FUN!" CATMAN
