A look at a past airline shutdown: Braniff's final hours

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">(After getting unofficial news of the shutdown)...........The Captain ordered the Flight Engineer to contact operations in Dallas. Operations told the crew that it was up to them to proceed to Hawaii or land in Los Angeles. The Captain elected to go to Honolulu as the plane was full of fuel and a lot of people who paid to go to Hawaii.............</font>
Sad, but true.
