Ooooh, the good old days are gone!! I went from Pan Am to running a large travel agency and my wife was a CO Golden Jet Desk Agent. We had the world at our feet. Didn't make any real money, but we lived like millionaires for 25 years! Went everywhere almost free. You wouldn't dare non-rev anywhere today. It might take 3 days to get to the coast!
Here's a couple pictures of bachelor party trip to MZT on a MX 727. TWA Steve was marrying his TWA flt attendant fiance and a bunch of us travel agents and airline folks kidnapped him from his office and took him to MZT for a 3 day weekend party. Doug Brown, the MX DEN Sales Mgr, blocked about 12 seats in the rear of a Fri non-stop DEN/MZT and, with the permission of his boss, we literally picked Steve up at the TWA Stapleton Sales Office and carried him onto the ac. His fiance delivered a packed bag and Doug had already check it in! Doug is the guy looking back over the top of the seat. Graeme Seaton, the guy on the left of Steve, was the Pan Am DSM in DEN at the time. I took the picture. It was wild times in the 70s! Just magical!
