WAL/DAL slogans. What is your favorite?

[Dont call me Shirley]

Came across an oldies station playing Jim Croce's "I've Got a Name" and it made me think of how Western turned the song into a jingle. I think it was the last slogan before the merger: "We got a Name to Live up to". In turn, I remembered other Western slogans/jingles going back to "The Only Way to Fly".

"We Got a Good Thing Going! Western Airlines."

"Come join us in the sky,
We'll show you why Western
is the only way to fly"

And, of course, Wally (the bird)saying: "The o-o-n-n-ly to fly" (while sipping free bubbly and leaning on the tailfin.)

From DL, there was
"Delta is ready when you are".
"Delta, the ailine run by professionals!"
and (IMHO, rather stupid)
"Delta gets you there" (isn't that what an airline is supposed to do).

Which ones have I missed?

(Oh the brain cells I waste of stuff like this)

 

[usflyguy]

i think at the western merge their was "the best gets better, delta airlines" jingle

 

[flyhigh]

"We love to fly and it shows"

...and of course there's the most recent..."Good Goes Around"

 

[USAir757]

"Good Goes Around" does nothing for me at all. I've always liked "We'll take you there." But I've never seen it used....

Maybe it's my gray matter failing, but I remember it as "Delta gets you there". As noted in my OP, "isn't that what an airline is supposed to do?" And I could be wrong on the timing, but I think that was the slogan being used around '87 or '88 when DL had a rash of embarrasing incidents, including landing at a wrong airport. (In TN? KY?)

David Letterman had a top 10 list of DL slogans abck then: All I remember is
Noisy Engines? We'll shut 'em off.
Enjoy the inflight movie on the plane next to you.

Like I said, I waste too many brain cells on this junk.

BTW, what kind of bird was Wally?

Wasn't it a Dodo bird?

Delta Air Lines, "On Top of the World" and they would queue that cool music from Pure Moods. I think that was the slogan before the current one. I think that was my favorite.

I don't hink I ever heard that one. (wonder if someone has a music file of it. "On Top of the World" makes me think of the Carpenters song.

"On Top of the World" was the slogan I think. They would play a song called Adiemus, kind of a new age beat.

Adiemus is actually a great work of music, I just didn't remember it being used with the "Top of the World" slogan.

delta slogan should have been " what goes around ,comes around"

In the year or two before the DL merger, Western Airlines used "Fly the Western AirForce". It was mainly a newspaper based campaign showing lots of planes flying West superimposed on a US map.

I believe that it was a campaign primarily intended for the East Coast -- trying to introduce them to Western Airlines' SLC hub.

During that same period, Western used Eastern Airlines for their ticketing at Washington National Airport. They had Eastern and Western signs interspersed down the lengthy counter (since Eastern was huge at DCA at the time). It was pretty cool:

Eastern Airlines Western Airlines Eastern Airlines Western Airlines Eastern Airlines...
