The building at 2:32 is still standing on NW36th St in Miami. Unfortunately it is surrounded by fencing and is locked up tight. It is beautiful and a stellar example of mid-modern architecture. It is quintessential Miami. Behind it was their pilot training center; still in use as a pilot training center, called Pan Am Flight Academy.
I was a flight attendant for a private charter company, and we did a lot of our training at this Pan Am training center in Miami. It’s like walking into time capsule. I don’t think they’ve changed anything inside! (This was about 7 years ago).

As late as the early 2000s Mexicana flights and even believe it or not a charter airlines had roomy seats on domestic flights in Mexico and the food wasn't that bad. But again most people in Mexico take a second class bus unless they afford the first class one. Flying to Cancun is out of the question when all you can afford is a bus trip to Papantla, Veracruz and a stay at a cheap little inn Beach resorts are for foreign tourists and the upper crust. Maybe an upper middle class lawyer with connections. And flying anywhere.... well you need to also afford the hotel plus the kids meals and the grandma (even rich families are Mexican families, you don't leave grandma behind in an old people's home or even by herself), so better have a lot of pesos.... which naturally mean you expect not to be treated as a third class bus passenger.
@@haboab0216 What airline in the U.S. do you fly on?? There is not a shred of class or gracefulness to be found any where up in the air. The hiring standards for airlines have gone down the drain.... the classy times of air travel of the 60s and 70s are gone for ever!!
And as back in the 'old days', flight attendants still have just 90 seconds to get *everyone* off of an aircraft for whatever safety reason(s). It used to be (not sure about today) the FAA oversaw the emergency training & if a score of 95% was not made from that intense training, the airline was *not* allowed to hire you.
I wonder if my mother’s best friend was in this video. She ended up dying in the Tenerife disaster. And incidentally, I myself am now a Boeing 747 Captain.
I miss the flying the older 727-200s and the DC-10s. Then as a couple of years went by flying the 747-400 to Hong Kong and Hawaii was nice. Then the 777-200s for Hawaii started to be used more for Hawaii in general. I miss the crew rest beds upstairs in the 747's back in the Economy. Then we pushed the 777-300s to Europe for a number if years. Life flying was very nice. When I studied World History in college and saw the beautiful cities in the text books I always said that I want to go to those beautiful cities around the world. Well, I have been to many if those wonderful countries and it had been so nice.
There's an older TH-cam video somewhere, I think from the 1940's, where the stewardess applicants were asked to pull-up their skirts, so the hiring committee could check out their legs. Times have changed.
Air Travel is a bit like life in general. It is what one chooses to make of it. Nowadays planes are much more modern, energy efficient and high tech than they were back in the 1960s. We also have options like Basic Economy, Wi Fi, seat back entertainment and Frequent Flier programs, none of which existed back then. Enjoy.......
Some of us were fortunate to fly "back then" and remember well how great it was, inclusive of a well groomed, well behaved flying public. Today, most who fly look (and smell) as though they crawled out of a sewer. It's chiefly the public who have destroyed air travel. Yes, those of us who were passengers "back then" remember well............
I remember the beautiful sexist flight attendance, not realizing it was sexist at the time. Born in 1966 I remember staying at hotels that had doors adgent to tge hotel room next to you, my cousins and i often ran thru them so much fun ... I ask people if they remember the rooms like that , they think I'm crazy or confused lol Military family's traveling and meeting family for vacations before final destination Pam Am hotel stays with dors to entire with existing outside and wonderful pools Great memories I loved watching Mad Men and would love to watch entire series of Pan Am Im searching for option to watch Help greatly appreciated And Thank You For Listening ❤
Now we have screaming brat kids and barking dogs crapping all over on flights. Why I refuse to fly anymore especially to Germany. My relatives want to see me they can Skype or fly themselves her. Last trip I made to Germany was 2011. That was the biggest nightmare I've ever experienced!! I swear that 3 kids NOT babies screamed almost the entire 9 hour flight and at least 3 dogs on board. So called service dogs to people that appeared perfectly able.
Thank you, my sentiments exactly! I flew for Pan American for seven years and our fellow F/A's were the cream of the crop, educated, multi-lingual, and intelligent. We were ambassadors for our flag-carrier all over the world; we were there for evacuations in times of war, transported troops flew many charters, and had the best team in the air. This video was condescending and demonstrates a lack of understanding of the airline's importance and Pan Am's place in history. We are an airline family who even though we are no longer gracing the skies, still keep in touch with one another and support one another. I am sharing this with my fellow stews and stewards and let's see what they have to say! We are proud of our amazing careers!
Those were the days when men were men and women were women and there was no guess work involved!! They are gone forever!! Now what you see up in the air is completely different to the golden days of air travel in the 60s and 70s!! The flight attendants are now rude uncouth ( not all) and frequently big as a horse!! Not a shred of gracefulness and style.
You gonna be kidding me, being a stewardess is actually a tough job...... Why don't u join those coal miners, that will tell you what a real tough job is.

Indeed. Passengers used to pinch the "stewardesses" bottoms discreetly, with class.

Recalls a time when flight attendants were properly trained. Today, we have flight attendants who hate their job.
Well, they only had to do it for 18 months...
In the very beginning, there were only men stewardess.

Few can afford to hate their jobs if they wish to maintain that position. There are always people lined up to step into anothers shoes per say.

Did you notice the food that was served to COACH passengers?

National Airlines served steak to main cabin passengers.
I long for those days
Same for me!
When the stewardess in the US where beautiful, polite.
They still beautiful and polite what a naive comment
haboab0216 Nah but they're faker now
And the passangers too
haboab0216 you need to travel the world to see the huge difference on mentality towards customers and then you would reconsider about the naive....

Most important thing Brian Williams said: "Be nice to them unless they are not nice to you."

Duct taping increased since this aired! A few flight attendants have been attacked, to the point self defense training offered.

flying used to be a dressed up event. now, sandals, T-shirts
And sometimes pajama bottoms on planes!!

In the 1960's and 1970's air hostess's love their job but now air hostess's hate their job today.
That's because the job has changed !
Avoid air travel whenever possible. At one time (20th century) it was a delightful experience. Today, it’s a dystopian event.

Only people with money flew back then. It was a special occasion.
That classic, luxurious flying still exists, but it's private.
So very true.
When air travel was high class.
Lol what high class you mean when was inconvenient now traveling lot simpler
Because only people with money flew back then. It wasn’t an every day thing like it is now.
Lincoln ruined it all!
'Slightly offended'? Not being sheep that's unlikely.
Looks like the girl @1:32 forgot to close the window before take-off !

Great memories
I loved watching Mad Men and would love to watch entire series of Pan Am
Im searching for option to watch
Help greatly appreciated
And Thank You For Listening ❤
Pan Am is on Tubi.
I don't think this is Pan Am. It looks like UNITED AIR LINES.
I saw Braniff
I hear you here. Yes, I have been with United Airlines for almost 10 years. Life flying!! Wow!!
I agree. It does not look like the Pan Am Uniforms. They were very distinctive.
The building at 2:32 was the PanAm flight attendant training school. It's on NW36TH St in Miami. Can't say the whole film was PanAm though.
Back then, a goal was often to find a husband.
Those days before glorious revolutionary Party Approved Correct Thinking and Speech.
So they aren't taught to twerk?
It used to be a great job, nowadays you are better off working at a supermarket!😂

There were plenty of gay pilots.
