937:” with “banana-skin tight uniforms”. An Andrews quote started with, “I have a particular fetish when it comes to these girls.” The author interviewed and described specific flight attendants down to eye color and measurements. He waxed lyrical about the “undulating rhythm of a PSA stewardess marching down the aisle,” and felt obliged to inform readers that uniforms (“with a certain reluctance on the part of the boss”) included girdles. The head flight attendant noted that “to keep wives happy we had to firm up the rear.” But not to worry: “the girls don’t resent being passenger bait.” But there were clouds on the horizon. The article noted the Supreme Court had ruled men must be allowed to be flight attendants, so things “might never be the same”. It was a very different era. 1513: 872: 918: 1528:

inefficient (given the rise in fuel prices, which PSA also blamed) and too labor intensive (given its three person cockpit vs two places for the MD-80). 727s were a big factor in driving the company to ordering 20 BAe-146 aircraft in late 1983, which were both smaller and extremely quiet (an advantage in California where noise politics was a factor at airports like Orange County, Long Beach and Burbank). PSA may have overcorrected – PSA ultimately configured BAe-146s with only 85 seats vs 150 for the MD-80s and 175 for the 727-200s. In one respect, PSA was lucky: the BAe-146 was eventually notorious for fairly

new deal with Braniff simply equipped a new carrier with Braniff equipment to fly under contract to PSA, sidestepping Braniff’s unions. Braniff would even loan PSA the funds. In theory, this was just a business deal by the bankruptcy estate, but creditors noted it was a de-facto reorganization plan, so why didn’t they get a say? Further, the FAA noted if Braniff resumed flying it was entitled to its takeoff/landing slots, but a new airline that just happened to use Braniff assets was not. The deal died in March 1983. It was perhaps for the best. PSA was unknown in Texas. A

beginning of 1970, the fleet comprised one 727-100, 16 727-200s and nine 737s. In the late 1960s PSA also briefly had DC-9s, the justification was to train pilots of other airlines. As discussed below, the L-1011s made a brief appearance in 1974-1975, but by then PSA was shedding the 737s; the last left in the fleet in 1976. In 1975, Lockheed Electras returned to support flights to Tahoe (see below). Other than the Electras (required to operate to Tahoe), PSA settled on 727s in the late 1970s, acquiring used 727-100s as well as additional new 727-200s.

1079:. PSA also played a special role at the CPUC. It was assumed to be the most efficient carrier, therefore CPUC fares were set relative to what would make the highest permissible profit for PSA – all other carriers operating in California then had to toe that line. So PSA had ample reason to regret its support of that 1965 legislation. However, under the Airline Deregulation Act, the minute PSA started flying to Nevada in December 1978, it was free of the CPUC. The CPUC didn’t take that lying down. The CPUC sued in Federal court to overturn the 909:. Western was four times the revenue of PSA, and as an interstate carrier, regulated by the CAB. It was unclear how this would work, putting together two airlines with different regulators, whether CAB approval would be forthcoming. PSA pulled the bid in April 1969, citing deteriorating Western results. By that time, Kerkorian was, while not a majority owner of Western, difficult to dislodge controlling nine out of 21 seats on the board. As outlined in a section below, PSA would instead pursue a non-airline acquisition strategy. 507:. He'd lived to see his airline become a success, but it was still tiny, with only five aircraft. J. Floyd Andrews, one of Friedkin's fellow founders, took over. Andrews's era was tumultuous, PSA achieving a high national profile. This was the era of hot-pant clad flight attendants on pink-liveried aircraft, a classic image of California in the late 1960s and early 1970s. As discussed below, PSA became utterly dominant in the intra-California market, but also overreached to the point it almost went bankrupt. 1046:

in L-1011 losses. In 1982, PSA took another $ 4.2M loss against its two L-1011s, still unable to find a home for them. PSA's troubles attracted national attention. PSA went to the CPUC asking for a fare increase to bail them out. The CPUC excoriated PSA, questioning management competency at length and especially withering about a 1974 $ 8mm share buyback. In March 1976, J. Floyd Andrews gave up the CEO position, and in May, resigned as chair of the board. By July, hotpants were on their way out.

435: 6749: 890:. PSA applied to the CPUC for Holiday's routes in 1974 Holiday said it couldn’t afford to defend itself in front of the CPUC and went out of business in February 1975. The CPUC split the Tahoe routes between Air California and PSA on an emergency basis, but required the two carriers use Electras for Tahoe. One of PSA's first actions of the deregulated era (which started January 1, 1979) was to exit Tahoe, citing the high cost of Electras in a fleet that otherwise comprised 31 727s. 6737: 6711: 42: 6773: 6761: 957:

PSA believed it would benefit from market stability, but observers predicted that over time the CPUC would become just as restrictive as the CAB, which, in fact, happened.

In October 1982, PSA announced a cheap and low-risk deal to expand into a new geography: under an eight year contract, Braniff would fly 25 to 30 727s from its Texas base with PSA colors and marketing, employing 1500 Braniff employees (who would have to agree to lower wages and higher productivity)
