defunct airline jingles
rad!dp...@alaskair.attmail.com
Does anybody remember airline slogans/jingles from the past (e.g. "Delta
is ready when you are..." "Western Airlines, the only way to fly....". I
am looking for as many from from now-defunct carriers as possible.
Specifically, did Pan American and Eastern have jingles? Ozark, National,
Capitol, Republic,etc. Can anyone help me here? The more the merrier!

I.m not sure of how the jingle went, but Ozark, just before they were
completely absorbed into TWA, used the slogan "Ozark flies your way."
A couple of TWA slogans included:
"Leading the way, TWA" (1980s)
"Today's TWA, Find out how good we really are" (late '80s)
"Up, up, and away, TWA" (late 1960s)

Pan Am had a great jingle, that was in place from at least as early as
1982, and possibly earlier: "You can't beat the experience... PanAm."
This music was well-integrated into both their music-on-hold, and into
the PA background music that was played during boarding and after
landing, at least on the 747, and later on the A300's and A310's. I
think that I heard that Leonard Bernstein was the composer. It was a
great song; I wish I could get hold of it.

Wasn't it the *old* Continental or Braniff, that caused the furor with

BCAL had "I wish they all could be Caledonian Girls"

Obviously, Pan American had several -
1. Pan Am, World's Most Experienced Airline
and
2. Pan Am - You call it the World. We call it home
Eastern - The Wings of Man
Braniff - Gets you there with Flying Colors

Hughes Airwest, late 1970s: "Top Banana in the West"
(Their planes were all yellow.)
PSA, until they were bought by USAir: "Catch our Smile"
Pacific Express, an airline from the early 80s that everyone
seems to have forgotten (they flew between Southern and Northern
California, among other places): "Fly the Pacific Express-way"

You call it the world....we call it home.
See the morning sun come sailing right by your window
As you gently lift off from the ground, now you're on your way
Settle back, enjoy yourself....a world of comfort will await you
Now your trip has just begun, and while you're up there having fun....
It's good to know you're on American...good to know you're on American...
Good to know you're on American....you're on American Airlines.

Delta Gets You There
Contrary to the tag line right after it came out, DL had a bunch of
aircraft problems that made the news.

Which was stolen by Trans Australia Airlines (TAA, now Qantas domestic arm)
eg" Up, up and away [with] TAA, the friendly, friendly way...."

One of the best in the UK was a rendering of 'California Girls' to
'Caledonian Girls'. This was under the old BCAL banner and was pretty well
known at the time.
Another in the UK was for Air Canada. It showed a picture of an AC jet on
the apron with a FA putting out the milk bottles. It went on to say "So
good you dont want to get off"!
