	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 was a major United States airline that existed from the late 1920s until 1991.
		Eastern used to be the main sponsor of Puerto Rican basketball team Cariduros de Fajardo, a team that carried Eastern's logo on its jerseys.
		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.

	history of Eastern Airlines presented by EARA
		Eastern underwent another facelift: 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 through the use of computer technology.
		Eastern Air Lines began in the late 1920s as Pitcairn Aviation, a small carrier in Philadelphia that earned its income from the transport of airmail under U.S. government contract.
		And while this all was going on, Eastern enjoyed splitting their fleet between their "silver colored hockey stick" livery (the lack of paint reduced weight by a hundred pounds) and their "white colored hockey stick" livery (on its Airbus-manufactured planes, whose metalurgy required paint).

	Eastern Air Lines 1939 - Eddie Rickenbacker as President
		Eastern Air Transport was one of several carriers that grew out of the Air Mail Act of 1934.
		The Air Mail Act of 1934 was passed after several more Army pilots were killed because they were untrained in instrument flying and their aircraft were inadequately equipped.
		Eastern at the end of 1934 was setting the pace for air transportation by flying passengers, mail and express on eight-hour nighttime schedules between New York and Miami and nine-hour schedules between Chicago and Miami to make connections with Pan American's system to South America and the Caribbean.

	Air Transportation: Eastern Airlines

	PBS - Chasing the Sun - Eastern
		Eastern's future as a major national airline was largely determined by its ability to secure a lucrative government contract to deliver airmail.
		Eastern guaranteed availability by assuring passengers that another plane would be added if all regularly scheduled flights sold-out.
		Unable to keep up, Eastern was sold to Frank Lorenzo in 1986 and became part of the largest aviation company in the world.

		However, by 1980 Eastern was dealt a setback.
		This was seen unacceptable to Eastern at the time, and when Eastern reminded the British that they wanted to fly to Heathrow instead of Gatwick, the route was given to Air Florida.
		In the spirit of the 747s that almost joined the real Eastern fleet, and a significant demand for the aircraft by our senior pilots, Virtual Eastern Airlines has decided to add the 747-200 to the fleet as a special aircraft for members with at least 500 hours.

		The aircraft was carrying 124 persons aboard (116 passengers and 8 crew members).
		The pilot warned the tower of the fact but other aircraft continued to land.

		U.S. Airways proposed an $8 billion takeover of bankrupt Delta Air Lines on Wednesday, which would create one of the world's largest carriers.
		And a statistic that to me is shocking is, if you look at the 16 carriers that did exist or exist now that are major carriers, more than 10 of them now have filed receivership one or more times, and some of the classic names in industry have gone away.
		I mean, Eastern Air Lines, the Wings of Man, Braniff, Pan Am, and, of course, TWA disappeared forever.
