Er... this was 20+ years ago. How can you compare your experiences with
modern flying trends. The airline industry and regulations have moved on
enormously since then. Budget airlines were still only a twinkle in the
eyes of a lot of the current budget airline bosses.

Freddie Laker ring a bell? "Skytrain" - now when was that?

First flight 26 Sep 1977 though the first application for a licence for the
service was 15 Jun 1971.

Lasted until 5 Feb 1982.
