OMG...I'm not here to give a history lesson about the airline industry, any specific industry segment, nor a single carriers' history. It wouldn't hurt the younger crowd to learn a little bit about where their industry came from, and just as important, where it could be going in future times. Try Google, or maybe even read a copy of Flying the Line.
