Such a wonderful show on every single level.
I had an idea for the show...and feel free to steal it Mr Weiner...but every weekday around 5:00PM, two planes used to take off, one each from Chicago O'Hare and New York La Guardia departing for the other city. The thing about these flights; they were "Executive Flights" and that meant "MEN ONLY" (bold actually in the timetables too).
The idea, I suppose, was that men on business trips to Chicago and New York needed a frat party in the sky. The flight attendants probably required battle pay, but of course didn't get it. Anyway, I thought that this would work in a Mad Men episode, since one of the show's biggest missions is to point out how far we've come in the world of women's lives...how women were treated back then.
The amazing thing about these flights: they didn't phase them out until around 1970.
Today, they'd be called the GOP Post-Feminist Flights.
