In the other facts section, someone mentions that in 2001, Southpark Studios were told not to use Braniff in any other format, and then says this is why it was not included in the South Park movie. All I have to say is that the South Park movie came out in 1999. -- Reepnorp 01:39, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
Observe how this reads: "These debts combined with Braniff's sub-par load factors—which were especially intolerable on the expensive-to-run 747s—to produce massive financial shortfalls."
Take out the phrase enclosed in hyphens, which you should be able to do in any sentence written in English, and this reads: "These debts combined with Braniff's sub-par load factors to produce massive financial shortfalls." This is proper English; to be specific, it's a full infinitive.
With your revision, this would read: "These debts combined with Braniff's sub-par load factors produced massive financial shortfalls." This is not proper English, unless the phrase "with Braniff's sub-par load factors" is enclosed with commas; however, if this is done, the punctuation becomes too busy.
It's perhaps a little fancy, but I like how it reads. DiogenesNY 03:51, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Image:Braniff Logo.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

If i recall correctly, the termination of operations in 1982 was extremely abrupt to the clientèle, leaving travelers stranded at airports with their connecting flights cancelled, "out of the blue". Very unelegant. So if this is of possible interest, one would have to conduct some research to find some reliable sources to quote here.

Why is there no wiki article on Troy Post? He was a notable entrepreneur and philanthropist - not to mention a major figure in post WW2 Texas business and finance. I invite Texas readers to get busy on this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justwanderinby ( talk • contribs) 05:17, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank you! I've just discovered the new Troy Post article - very good, by the way. It just goes to show you that the Wikipedia community listens and responds! Readers may also be interested in a good article on him in Fortune magazine (mid-60s - sorry, don't know the date). ----
The recent edits made to the article by IP editors substantially improved the article in terms of making it neutral and concise. Language like "also dedicated a state-of-the-art mid century themed" is hardly the kind of language we aim to use in articles. I have replaced the changes.

Stale I'm removing the split tag from the article. The article is smaller than the recommended max size and hasn't grown much in 2½ years (not surprising since the company is a few decades defunct). No need for the split tag. Platonk ( talk) 00:38, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
