PEOPLE EXPRESS!!!!

Ah, yes, flew that from Newark to Jax regularly in the mid 1980s.

You paid the fare on board in cash—$ 59 round trip!—once had a special at $ 29.00 round trip.

My boss couldn’t believe my expense reports!!!

No seat assignments. Got to deplane in the rear as well as the front—saved a lot of time.

It really became too successful. Planes became full. When passengers started bring live chickens on board in FL, it was over for me.

It was fun while it lasted.
