My dad told me about a flight he had on 747 Pan Am, before deregulation. He was going from NYC to LA, non stop. He loaded just shortly before they closed the door. He said the aircraft was almost empty, with just a handful of customers. The stewardess, just called all the passengers to the first class cabin. She said they were not going to walk back there and they had a ton of seats in first class. They had the super duper first class service, and he played cards with one stew for the flight, and had free drinks, the first class meal, and personal service from an attractive stew for the entire flight. It had to have cost Pan insane money to make that flight. Now days of course, if the plane is not almost full, it just gets canceled. Back then the law was if it was scheduled, it had to go. I wonder what a 747 cost to fly coast to coast with a full crew.
