(AT&T) Shows the varied forms of communications used by commercial air carriers in confirming reservations, preparing aircraft for flight, monitoring aircraft in flight and maintaining air-to-ground contact.

    Everybody is dressed up for the filming, and nobody smoked.

    @dpurdue Awesome! Anyone want to watch Seinfeld ?!

    @SylarDX85 Laptops would be allowed during take off and landing since they will not interfere with 1965 ATC frequencies!

    Doesn’t the pilot need flight plan clearance prior to taxi? Teletype is the grandfather of the internet I assume…

    @oooowwwwdddd …
    Think you have an advanced civilization today?
    These people enjoyed hassle-free and worry-free boarding, courteous service and interaction before, during, after flights, didn’t have to fly next to some jacknut with cruddy feet in flipflops and a UFC t-shirt, had more room even in smaller aircraft … oh, and didn’t worry about having to phone their contact list 24/7…how did they ever survive? All while we’re like cattle as the TSA grope away. “Stone Age” my butt
