I'm sure the warm and fuzzy nostalgia is an important part of buying rail shipment services for industrial chemicals these days.

Whoever bought the logo for consumer merch is probably doing pretty well though. Love my blue leather PanAm messenger bag.

This remembers me the only Eastern airlines flight I ever had.

I usually flew BRU-ATL direct on Saturday with SABENA's B747 but once had to travel with a colleague who insisted we fly out on Sunday (he could not miss his lovely wife an extra day) to JFK and fly Eastern JFK-ATL. We still would have time at the bar of the hotel for a drink Sunday night though.

Unfortunately the law of Murphy had to hit us with this idea.
At JFK it took ground handling one hour to open the frozen belly doors to unload the luggage. By the time we reached the Eastern airline terminal our connecting flight was gone and the next flight cancelled. Thus we had to wait some hours more to get the last Eastern flight out of JFK.
When we boarded Eastern made the following announcement: Easter airlines welcomes you on board our direct flight to Norfolk West Virginia....I did not much like the kitchen apron's uniforms from the FA, but we finally made it very late into ATL and when we checked in at our hotel on Lenox square the bar was closed.

But wasn't there a luxury type of airline flying ATL-JFK business class only at cattle class prices?
They did not last long if I remember.

Yup
 

Someone thinks it's been long enough...

My best memory of Eastern is when Continental picked them up, and I flew my first Eastern flight on a Continental aircraft. Oh, what a relief. Back in the day when Continental taking over was a good thing. And why the FlyerTalk straw vote was so overwhelmingly in favor of Continental taking over United vs. USAirways getting it. Never was the saying, "That was then..." more true, twice. I digress. This post is really to relay the news above.
