I started flying SouthWest Airlines in 1973 . Only three cities where included in the flight schedule . Dallas Love Field , Houston Hobby and San Antonio. It was known as the " Love line " The flight attendants wore orange hot pants and skimpy tops.
One flight from Hobby to Love field the passenger next to me pionted out a cute little black
flight attendant . He told me on a previous flight she had made the usual safety announcements to the male passengers and businessmen .
He quoted verbatim the following " If all you old boys will buckle up I will go up front and tell
big daddy to get this mother off of the ground " unquote .
In later years I have quoted the above to SouthWest flight attendants to be greeted with a stoney silence . Times have changed .
