One: uncritically accepting advertising as fact, despite exaggeration and puffery being standard practice
Two: flying was an outright luxury during that time. Only rich people and new "middle class" Americans were doing it, so airlines catered to that crowd. That's radically different from air travel today where most people have flown at least once in the past few years, and nearly half have flown once in the last year. If you're tailoring a service to 85% of the population instead of ~30% or less, it's clearly going to be different.
Three: if you want your fancy boy meals and two by two seating, you're welcome to buy a first class ticket for thousands of dollars. An approximation of this kind of service is available in first class today - these dipshits either don't realize that because they're completely unobservant and incurious, or, they're just looking for an excuse to hate women and minorities and think that SURELY they'd be able to afford it if we reintroduced segregation or something. Just downwardly economically mobile white guys blaming the proles they're forced to join instead of the bosses.

In Communist North Korea, the impoverished masses are easily fooled by the ruling class' propaganda, which is laden with exaggeration and puffery depicting an idealized life wherein people readily consent to their own exploitation
It's just so dumb on so many levels.
