Another reason to fly yourself

Yes! Back in 1977 (after my parent's divorce) my little brother & I flew
on all the great airlines from Boston to Tampa. You know, Eastern, People
Express, Piedmont... The tix were about $1200 round trip, each, for one
8-year old and one 4-year old. No non-stops. I think it took 8 hours
door-to-door for many flights (but forgive me if my memory is not perfect;
after all, I was 8 years old).

I'm not sure I'd lump "People's Express" and "Piedmont" under the banner of
"Great Airlines."

Truly great airlines were Pan Am, TWA, United, and American. By '77 they
had already sown their seeds of decline, although no one knew it at the
time.
