Default "Fly the Friendly Skies"

Still a better slogan than "Let's Fly Together", "You're going to like where we land" et al.

I think it's a good move.

The narrator? Gene Hackman. UAL used an ad agency named Leo Burnett and they made the best run of commercials for United. Of course the new whiz kidds fired them right around the BK filing.

Wonder why it's called a whale?

Rhapsody in Blue may be one of the best marketing tools ever used too. Is there anyone over the age of about 8 in this country that can't hear that song and think UAL commercials circa 1988 and beyond?
