	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Eastern Air Lines
		Eastern made a successful transition to the jet age in the 1960s, but during the next decade labor conflicts, the rising cost of fuel, and debt incurred from purchasing new airplanes began a downward spiral for the company.
		Eastern, with Delta, was an element in Atlanta's continued rise as the transportation and commercial capital of the South.
		Eastern also underwent a facelift that gave the company a more polished image: aircraft were refurbished and a new color scheme was adopted; flight attendants and pilots received new uniforms; and such services as baggage handling, reservation services, and in-flight amenities were greatly improved.

	Eastern Air Lines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During this era, Eastern's fleet was split between their "silver-colored hockey stick" livery (the lack of paint reduced weight by 100 pounds) and their "white-colored hockey stick" livery (on its Airbus-manufactured planes, the metallurgy of which required paint to cover the aircraft's composite skin panels).
		Eastern Air Lines Flight 401 (a brand new Lockheed L-1011) was preparing to land in Miami, Florida, on December 29, 1972, when the flight crew became distracted by a non-functioning gear light.
		Eastern's demise has often been used as a major example of labor unions going too far, as their workers were reportedly some of the highest paid in the industry (it had been rumored that some baggage handlers were making over $70,000 a year) and completely refused any concessions to save the airline.
