In the CAB era of 1968, FAR 121 captains earned, get this, a Cadillac a month. A MONTH! Anyone want to go back to those days? Me, too.
When I saw that I had to smile -- and wonder how many reading it believe you. It wasn't 1968 in my circumstance but it was 1975. By coincidence in October of that year I purchased, brand new, a 1976 Coupe de Ville. I paid for it in cash with one month's paycheck -- and I got change.
Times have changed.
