Flying is a cattle call now

Crazy how the boomers let it all go to shite

Before stewardesses had penises

I imagine the cost of that seat, as a % of median family income, would be astronomical compared to first class on a comparable flight today.

I’d bet First Class hasn’t really moved too much relative to inflation. The bigger change in that regard would be in Coach, I would think.

What’s that thing in the bottom right corner of the pic, though? A turkey breast? I can’t figure it out.

Maybe some kinda Baked Alaska thing. Who the hell knows?
