Lars (midessa) Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Not Southwest, if it was, people would be crammed about 17 people across (well not quite). Southwest earned the nickname ‘Cattle Cars of the Skies’ for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oleman Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I once flew from Oakland Ca International Airport to San Francisco International Airport. The airports are across San Francisco Bay from each other. It was on American and the first leg of a flight to ST Johns Newfoundland. Our Lady Friday booked the flight for me. Took 15 minutes and I was the only paying passenger on board. The Stewardesses had to do all the normal safety presentation for take off and landing. After a long day on their feet they were happy to sit and talk to me for a few monuments. One actually walked with me to the Air Canada area for my long flight to the other side of North America. I spent the week after the 4-th of July, They had just removed the last of their winter snow. And the special at the motel for lunch was Corned Beef and Cabbage. Business trip, I was a Corporate Trainer. Only thing I remember is the Name is pronounced "NEW FOUND LAND" and the Folks I met were friendly.

jeeper61 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 That reminds me of the old TWA joke. When the TWA stewardess asks you if you would like some TWA Coffee tell her you want want some TWA Tea instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent about one month in Pepperell Air Force base, St. Johns Nfld in 1955. Then went over to other side of the Island at Harmon Air Force Base for about two years. Got to know several Newfies , as we called them. Good people. Snow, oh yeah. And, the guys almost always wore neckties. Even those working out in the woods. That looked a little strange. Both of those Bases were given back to the country before 1966 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked at a business that built righthand drive garbage trucks , dump trucks etc in late 80s early 90s. They flew me down to Newfoundland ( first time ever) to instruct the Newfies how to upgrade the righthand brake controls . Nicest people in the country IMHO,They have a slower pace and make you feel at home. I can still hear them saying " Lord tunderin' JE$U$" remember 911? a total of 17,000 passengers on about 76 US planes landed in Newfoundland when the air space in the USA was shutdown. The Newfies took most of them into their homes? Quote According to the Gander International Airport, 39 planes were diverted there on Sept. 11, 2001. About 6,500 passengers had to be processed by the town's single immigration officer, aided by another three who drove in from St. John's. It took up to four days for all the aircraft and passengers to leave Gander for their destinations. The airport at St. John's accepted 21 diverted flights and 16 more went to the Newfoundland cities of Stephenville, Goose Bay and Deer Lake.

pete23 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I remember reading about that a while after 911. While I was up there at Harmon, Stephenville, Nfld, the Russians went into Hungary and we had a lot of refugee's coming through and stop over for refueling etc. I ended up on KP duty for a couple of days at what was the old Hospital at that time right next door to the air port. When a plane load of refugees would come in we would serve them lunch. The funny part was, the Red Cross Gray Ladies would come in and sit and converse with them, help them get some food. Then after the refugees left, the Red Cross ladies had their lunch, then left and we cleaned up the mess and made lunches for the next bunch.
