Of all the adjectives used to describe space bodies, fluffy has got to be one of the more underrated!

Yep, and the trait they both had from their conditions was more acidic blood!

I thought it was a drunk with acidosis and a baby that never stopped crying?

If we were talking about Andromeda, the people who eat more/only meat have more acidic blood (which kills the pathogen in the story)... which actually is more confusing when I swear the 70's movie had a dead carnivore in a scene.

Don’t worry, we’ll all go together.

I don’t want a future where people who are keto/paleto are the only survivors.

This time they didn’t take it to the town’s physician. You gotta give them that.

Did NOBODY ELSE ever watch Andromeda Strain?

I’ve heard that the passenger harassment tends to a lot worse in first class than coach. True or not? I fly a fair amount, though almost always in coach, and I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed that kind of behavior back in economy. But I can imagine it up front. 

Much of the sexism andd harassment from passengers and some pilots, still persists. It was only recently my airline changed uniform guidelines to allow for an option of not wearing high heels with dresses and skirts. Plenty of inappropriate come ons, remarks, touching, phone number requests, from passengers...which we…

I noticed them on my most recent flight, too. They were so nice! Such a pretty color. 

I made a small fortune many years back selling used “stewardess” pantyhose and shoes on Ebay. I can tell you from experience, a large segment of our male population still thinks of stewardesses as in-flight entertainment and eye-candy. I was happy to take advantage, these guys were just kind of....foolish. 

Oddly that aired at the end of the night that started with one of the later seasons of Wonder Woman, with Flying High airing after The Incredible Hulk.

Nevertheless, the “Fly Me” series raised the carrier’s profile and won a handful of advertising awards.

The weirdest part of the Braniff “air strip” was the clear plastic bubble helmet they wore at the beginning. You can barely see it on the left side of the Braniff ad.

I know, sexist and everything. But I’m still so partial to this 10CC song. It captures the 1970's so well for me.

Anyone else notice in the want ads “good vision?” As in, no glasses, Four-Eyes.

Great article! My mom worked for TWA when we were growing up,and I thought it was such a glamourous job. It’s a shame that the things mentioned in the article went on,and good to hear that things have improved drastically since then. I do remember her talking about the Renwick thing and thinking “but it’s her…

What’s really interesting is how much of an uphill battle Fulsom and Jarrel were facing; even with awareness of their campaign, they still had to face the results of these attitudes when CBS starting running this series in 1978:

This was interesting and discouraging. Interesting, because... well, history is interesting, and well-written history is doubly so. And discouraging because, when reading about the horrendous treatment in the early seventies, I thought, “oh my god, that was only thirty years ago,” before realizing, no, that was almost…
