> a carrier specializing in short flights between cities across the South. Many of these routes would not be viable today due to improved roads, but in the 1970s it was still common to fly these brief “puddle-jumper” routes using midsized jet aircraft It used to be that if it took 4 hours or more to drive to a place, it was worth taking a plane. I remember those days fondly. Flying was convenient, enjoyable, and drama free. Now, with the TSA and the ever longer FAA delays, the cutoff is more like 10 hours.
