It also cost 10x the price and was worse in just about every safety and operational metric. For all of the 'charm' that's disappeared out of flying, its democritisation has resulted in it becoming like car travel was in the 50s.

Like car travel, but significantly safer.

I'm pretty sure you had lots of leg room in a car in the 50s.

Yes. You also had a steering column that would impale you if you crashed into something.
