"The Golden Age of Flight:" Maybe It Wasn't

The Wall Street Journal travel section regularly includes a fine column, The Middle Seat, written by Scott McCartney. Like us, he attended last year's Flyer Talk Star Alliance Mega Do and wrote about it, probably to a somewhat larger audience.

We recently read with interest his column,The Golden Age of Flight. We've been frequent flyers only since 2001, and the column leaves us with the impression we didn't miss as much as some would suggest.
