I just found this in-flight menu from Pan Am airlines from the 1960s. It's pretty obvious why they went bankrupt after you look at this shoddy attempt at customer service. It's an 8" x 11" menu printed on textured watercolor paper that's really rough on the skin. Before he even got to the food and drinks inside, the passenger had to endure a water color painting of some pagans worshipping lion-gods or something. How unsettling is that?
When you open up the menu you immediately notice that the paper on the interior is a different color than the exterior. What were they thinking?! Slipshod! And look at this abomination: they hand taped a daily "Flight Fancy" selection (sole amandine) right there in the menu. Not only is it not centered, THE PAPER IS A DIFFERENT COLOR!!! As Jon Stossel would say, "Give me a break!"

All that French on the menu is really alienating.
What, no Drambuie on Southwest? Well, who would want that stuff anyway - it doesn't settle well with peanuts.
Yes that's why they went out of business because of their choice of paper when printing menu's or because they used french, yes that's why oh my you have hit the nail right on the head! What a brain trust you are.
Juan Trippe: Sir, I would have you know that I have a Bachelor in Business Administration degree from The University of Phoenix (major: Marketing/minor: International Psychology), so I think I'm VERY qualified. What are your qualifications?
Someone needs to take Facetiousness 101.
