On a recent domestic flight with Delta Airlines, I had an unexpected experience when the pilot walked through the cabin, interacting with every passenger. This seemed reflective of a time once passed - the 'Golden Age of Commercial Aviation'.
THE GOLDEN AGE OF AVIATION
The period beginning around 1930 and ending after the 1960s was the 'Golden Age' of Commercial Aviation. Passengers dressed in their finest clothes, experiencing first-class service with luxurious seats and multi-course meals.
THE GOLDEN AGE OF MEDICINE
Many label the 'Golden Age' of Medicine from the 1940s to the late 1960s. These epochs in aviation and medicine clearly overlap.
A NEW GOLDEN AGE?
Doctors and pilots can possibly recapture their once unblemished reputations through meaningful human interactions with patients and passengers.
