SkyCaptain when my wife got a preview trip to Portland Oregon she flew from LaGuardia to PDX. She called me from PDX (I was on a business trip). She was crying joyfully. I asked what happened. She said I got off the plane and there was carpet at the airport and cows outside and a double rainbow.

Circa 1967, United came up with an interesting promotion...men traveling on business could bring their wives at a discount rate. It was called "Take Me Along", and was advertised with a lavish song and dance TV commercial directed by future Oscar winner Michael Cimino.
The punchline is when United sent thank you notes to those listed as traveling with the men...and in quite a few cases, it was found it wasn't the wives who were taken along.
Makes sense. A hotel near me offered a similar deal on some suites where they basically rented a single king bed in a double sized room for less than 2 queens so alot of people would rent those and share a bed or have 1 sleep on the couch for business trips. My family once rented a honeymoon suite for similar reasons since for the same cost of a standard room with 2 beds we got a fancy suite with a queen bed and a pull out couch.
@@arthas640 I think OP was implying that mistresses often accompanied men on these trips.
It makes sense, too. If a married man has a secret mistress, he probably has trouble finding excuses to see her, so it's a lot of short visits during lunch, after work, and maybe an occasional Saturday when the wife thinks he's playing golf. A chance to spend several days together during a business trip where they could be seen in public together would probably seem amazing.
Oops! Bet there were some divorces initiated from those thank you cards!

@@LegendaryZet idk i even forgot about my comment 💀
I fly business a lot from domestic and international flights. The free alcohol is nowhere near worth the price. I'm tall so the extra legroom is priceless. I like to drink, but getting drunk in the air isn't as fun as some people make it seem. Having one or two drinks is nice. Any more than that and you're just doing it because it's free.
Back in the mid 80's I was working a flight from LaGuardia to Chicago. I noticed during boarding that all of the passengers who boarded were men. It seemed strange when making the departure announcement to say, "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen...So I just said, "Good morning, gentlemen, and welcome aboard." They probably never heard that before. Or ever again!
Just saying gentlemen sounds kinda like what the team fortress two announcer would say if she was a flight attendant.
They should definitely have a no infants flight. I have a fear of flying and listening to a baby crying while I’m scared to death is the worst
I believe Japan Airlines introduced a feature to see where infants are seated during the booking process.
I don't mind infants on flights (I was actually an infant myself once)...what pisses me off is when parents don' try to placate the child

I agree, screaming children, of any age, are the worst when you're trapped at 38,000 feet

Sam: "HAI's video topic is taken randomly from wikipedia"
Also Sam: "Here's another *airplane* "
That wikipedia is rigged with planes
Pratip Biswas conspiracy: he wrote the list himself with topics he finds interesting and played it off as some “random” list so it sounds cool
i feel like nobody is talking about how hilarious the fact that a men only flight is called “gas light”
Hahaha 🤣
Because the air heads aren't allowed on-board?
Not as hilarious as you implying women aren't capable of gas lighting.
"The Gas Light flights proved surprisingly popular"
- reduced the Men only section of the plane
- discontinued after only two years
I don't think "popular" has the same meaning for Sam as it does for me.
They were popular, but Mowhak Airlines was not.
Seems like he was gaslighting you
Have you heard of sarcasm?
I suppose you could technically say that something less popular than expected is "surprisingly popular"
It might have been popular, but they were probably losing money.
United then: All men flights!
United now: We drag men off the flights!

"The flight proved surprisingly popular." What do you mean, "surprisingly"?
Wow a place to get away from the opposite gender. Like that’s never existed for both women and men throughout the ages.
Lev Obolenskiy I can see why YOU are mad
What I'm really surprised about is how little beer they drank. Was there a limit of two cans per man? Otherwise I can't make sense of those numbers.
@Sohan Biswas Men and women are biologically different and as well can be sociologically different. There are men only cafes throughout the world(not enforced, but in a cultural sense), in which middle aged and old men play card games and backgammon and whatever, and a woman's presence in those cafes would be perceived weird. And then there are women only meetings where women cook different food for eachother and talk about things. It's not "wrong" or it's not "right". It's all cultural, and acceptable if means no harm to anyone. A man has the right to wish to be in a place where there are no woman because of millions of possible reasons, and the same applies for women.
I can't decide if airports should have x gender only flights or not, though.

@@zacuery5097 Mendelssohn, Liszt, and I are all working on an epic collab.
I would go on an age 13+ flight because kids under 13 seem to be annoying. There was some 10 year old kid who kept on pressing the screen so hard that I felt it. There was also a 7 year old throwing a tantrum and screaming in the seat behind me when I was trying to sleep. There was also an annoying 3 year old kicking my seat once. It’s just the pains of flying.
I've had to press the screen pretty hard a few times because it wasn't working properly.
That said, that's usually when I give up, because I bring with me, in general, 3 books, two laptops, a kindle and, of course, my cellphone. I'm deathly afraid of being bored....

As I understand it Mohawk's gaslight service was an idea to keep using the obsolete DC-3s in their fleet since they were no longer needed but Mohawk owned them outright. They got rid of them after the novelty wore off. It was really more of a theme park ride but they were popular for a while. Remember it carried 23,000 people, 21 seats at a time. ')

if anything it should be encouraging that we've come so far in just 47 years don't you think? honestly better late than never, the current trend seems impossible to reverse, and while sexist attitudes will always persist, as long as they are confined to a fringe minority things are looking good for the world. someday sexism might be as niche and minoritarian as something like say say UFO spotting or demon worshipping is today. ie relegated to a completely irrelevant part of society. just please no sexism conventions with macho men costumes lol (UFO enthusiasts dress up at aliens in alien cons)

Yes Dear, that sounds terribly interesting. Could you go get the stats on that for me and put them on my desk - I'll make sure to look into this.
It's not at all shade, because while men were out gettting pants and wearing paid women got to stay home and cook, have tea parties and listen to radio, which is markedly more preferable than the life ending dangers of stock broking. If you ask me, this flight was a welcome break/

wouldn't be illegal just incredibly controversial would draw protests and need to be shut down, but strictly speaking it's not illegal as a private company to refuse service to whoever you want for whatever reason unless the service you're providing is "essential".
@@TrigramThunder It depends on what classification the company is under. Private companies still have to follow regulation.
Francisco Manuel Sánchez Rubio except for Christians that own private companies
@@TrigramThunder Well, depends on the religion / reason given, by the people pushing for it. Something tells me if it was a Muslim or Orthodox Jewish group wanted to charter a plane that does this, a lot of "liberals" in the US would be pretty chill with it.
If it is part of the service itself or the product then yes you can make it guys or girls only. Like how hooters isn't officially in the business of selling food. If they were they couldn't hire only female waitstaff.....sooooo they are considered sex/entertainment industry so "those" workers have to fit the role...but they didn't get away with same for hosts
I would fly on one of those gaslight flights just for the experience at least once. Sounds kind of interesting. Vintage even.

I have to admit I don't think I've ever had an issue with a baby crying on a plane, though I only fly once or twice every year or so. But based on just how annoying being near a crying baby is, having the option to ride in a "free of baby and young children" flight would be great.

Or the nightmare of LAX
Back in the 60s my grandparents and dad landed at some god forsaken dirt strip somewhere between Iraq and India to refuel on a multi-day flight between Scotland and Australia in a Vickers Viscount. The passengers were offered to opportunity to disembark to stretch their legs. Any who did were rushed by dozens of locals trying to sell armfuls of trinkets while armed militia camped around the plane to shoot any bandits wanting to raid it. The grey water tanks were emptied straight onto the ground beneath the plane. Take off was delayed by a local farmer herding his cattle across the runway.
"He might as well take a cab while keeping his eyes laser-focused on a list of US presidents" was one of my favorite Wendover jabs so far. 10/10.
That was one of the smoothest ad transitions that I have ever seen.
Great video. Informative, clever and funny!
I work in retail and a woman slipped and nearly fell near a male colleague. Big mistake she sued because he touched her without her permission as you do when you instinctively reach for someone who looks like they are about to fall.
Lesson learned never allow a woman to be close enough so that if they slip/fall you are close enough to help instinctively.
Yeah that's the world we live in.
And then everyone clapped, plus you got Obama's autograph

1:40 Jesus... you gotta think the turnover for that job would be, like, every single flight.
Being a stewardess was seen as a great job back then. Serving businessmen was considered a plus over family holidaymakers. Our view of male customers today is skewed toward a presumption of perversion.
Almost every job a woman could get back then involved sexual harassment as something you had to just take and if you weren't a "good sport" about it you'd be lucky if all you got was fired for no particular reason, and being a stewardess at least paid better than a lot of other positions, so it was considered a good job by many women. If a job where you're respected simply doesn't exist, then the position that pays the best for the harassment you have to tolerate is what’s considered a good job.
Not sure about men only, but adult only should be the norm: if parents insist on taking their kids places, they should pay a premium for a place on a family plane
