    I hate Qantas

    Kuala Bear in the tree -

    "I hate Qantas"

    Some amongst us may remember that old Ad campaign. Odd..but good I thought. Anyway, I still remember it today.

    What do we have now? The World On Time (Fed Ex) & Work Hard, Fly Right (Continental). I like those okay..but what are the others?

    Do they stand up against the following?
    Fly the Friendly Skies of United,
    Eastern - The Wings of Man.
    Delta is Ready when you Are.

    The only ones I've ever heard are:

    jetBlue. It's not the only way to fly, but it should be.
    and
    jetblue. We like you, too.

    It was a very very early quote they used when they first started flying.

    good ol days.....

    National Airlines:

    "Fly the Buccaneer route"

    This was a fantastic jab at Eddy Rickenbacker's Eastern owner from when he complained to C.A.B. about Nationals request for more routs calling National "pirates". First came the complaint, then the slogan above followed just to piss Eddy off even more!

    "Were National Airlines,Watch us Shine"
    "Jet National Coast to Coast to Coast"
    "Is this any way to run and airline? You bet it is!"

    Delta Airlines:
    "The airline with the big jets!" (intro for the DC-8s and CV-880s)

    Allegheny Airlines:
    "The big airline with the hometown touch"

    Braniff International :
    "Gets you there with Flying Colors"

    Pan Am:
    "You can't beat the experience"

    British Airways:
    "The worlds favorite airline"

    BOAC:
    "Were starting a quiet revolution" (intro for the VC-10s)
