So many great jingles in those days...!
All those young stews are now close to 70 years old, can you imagine ? Those were the days !
GREAT memories - thanks!
That was my favorite style of united stewardess uniform, must a been late 60s early 70s? Abso adorbs. Made them looking like Brady Bunch girls. Modern, cute, understated, and classy
May have been the first time “The Friendly Skies” was used in a United campaign…which makes it hugely important and pioneering. Became its general tagline for decades after.
The “fly the friendly skies” ad campaign was launched in 1965.
That DC-8 is now on display in Los Angeles
I was one of those stewardesses as they use to call us then. Wow what stories I could tell hahahaha
What years were you employed by United
Ah nostalgia. Those were the days when United had prestige and class during the 1960s and 1970s.
Didn't they airlines have curtains on the windows instead of pull shades of today?
@@timwahl1 I think that was a McDonald-Douglas Aircrafts touch. Their windows were different than Boeing, they were bigger but they had fewer of them, so they'd fill in the empty space on the wall with curtains.
Can't remember if they actually functioned. Def remember them on all the DC-8s, not sure if the DC-9 or 10 had them.
Right you are. To me like 1962-1975 was the golden age of United. Then they started moving in the direction of no frills flying, like eliminating 2nd class lounges on the 747s
@@timwahl1 When they were first put into service in the the late 1950s/early 60's, the DC-8's had curtains.
@@RaptorFromWeegeeyes, that is a DC-8-61 in the commercial. I have flown in DC-8s, and the windows were indeed much larger than in Boeings and spaced further apart.
Give me a stewardess over a flight attendant any day. Great ad!
Hallelujah!
We can thank the flight attendants union for that. Suddenly they couldn't be fired for failing to smile and be nice. No more mandatory retirement by age 30. Naturally, the stews started acting more like corrections officers than Gisha girls
my friend one of the fa there on the commercial still flies with UA shes 75yo
That’s awesome! I always wondered if any of them were still flying. I joined UNITED 7 mos ago. Would love to meet one of these “stewardesses” :-)
@@SLiPhone Her name isn't "Virginia" is it?
@@RaptorFromWeegee I do not know. Maybe someone else here can answer that question. Anyone?
lol entitled people in the comments being pissed because you actually have to respect the people that serve you nowadays is crazy.
Lovely ad. I'm confused by the aspect ratio--it's 1.8 rather than 1.3333 (TV)--is it cropped?
Back when air travel was a lovely, civilized experience. Food, movies, music, friendly attendants, and nobody in the back row felt compelled to shout "Thank you Jesus!" when the plane finally landed.
Those were the "good old days" when all it took was a step up to the ticket counter and you and the people seeing you off could walk you all the way to the gate. No security check. What happened?
I don’t know if you’re joking or not… but 9/11?
Security started when a lot of planes were hijacked to Cuba! I worked for National Airlines back in the day!
@@skyedrake2867 Question was rhetorical...What happened to society......Remembering the days of Sunday Best for flying, window curtains, not pull down shades and first rate (if not First Class) service for coach passengers.
@@dipaola702 Sunday Best for flying back then, too. Window curtains, not plastic pull down shades. Airlines had great commercials--Take me along if you love-a-me" with United; Eastern...Number one to the sun, and Northeast Orient (bong) ...Airlines." "Delta s ready when you are..." National promoted "go-go" prices, taking off on the Go-go craze. The competition back then was good for the public.
@@timwahl1 I think only their Douglas jets had the curtains. Their 747s, 737s, 727s, and 720s all had the pull down plastic window shades.
Also; "Eastern's got the right place and the right time for you.....", we're National Fly me!", "We're American airlines, doing what we do best", "BOAC, we'll take good care of you",
Hey, granddad, what's a "travel agent?"
All that went to fucking bloody hell. Today's airline industry in the U.S. is deplorable.
Hell, even Cold War days were simpler than the cyber nightmare that is the 2020s.
They're not so friendly these days.
you said it!!! I'm not so excited about flying on an airplane like i use to be when i was a kid- I still have great memories about flying-
They probally are still flying system seniority numbers 80000 after Ilene in SFO.
Thank you United for standing up for democracy!
Is that the Fifth Dimension singing?
I have about all the Fifth Dimension albums and I really doubt it. A lot of commercials back then had jungles with this style of singing. The Fifth Dimension sounded more soulful.
Reminded me of the 5th Dimension too........😀
"Friendly" riiiiggghhhhtttt....
Cropping ruined this! Where is the original?
Political correctness ruined our once great society. I watched it happen throughout the years.
When I watch this commercial I literally ask "What happened to this once great country?" PC is the cyanide of civilization.
@@rockwestfall9674 Exactly!!!!
I think that was always the intention
now this airline is crap
