Airline Jobs - A Brief History

The Wright brothers, Amelia Earhart, Charles Lindbergh, Beryl Markham, Chuck Yeager, and all the other pioneers who pushed the aviation envelope, helping to shape the designs and characteristics of modern flight, could not have imagined how quickly flying would become a billion-dollar business.

In 1903 the Wright brothers made history with their first flight. Twenty-four years later "Lucky Lindy" flew solo across the Atlantic. Then Beryl Markham became the first pilot to fly from England to America. By 1937 jet engines were being tested. Nineteen forty-seven marked the first supersonic flight, and 1951 introduced the traveling public to the first turbo-jet airliner company, aptly named Comet Airlines. By 1976, the Concorde was making regularly scheduled commercial supersonic transatlantic flights, and wide-body jets carrying 400 passengers or more were the staple of the industry. Airlines at that time were heavily regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other agencies, and subsequently had to adhere to government-controlled routes, fares, and schedules.

The industry saw tremendous changes, however, when Congress decided that the federal government should get out of the business of regulating airlines. It was time to let the marketplace determine airline ticket prices and how often it would be necessary for a carrier to schedule flights to places like Peoria, Illinois, and Fargo, North Dakota.
