Talk:Braniff International Airways

message: 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.

thread_title:  Possible Misinformation 

message: 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)
replies: text: Are you reading what you're writing? s/b "...debts (noun) and the "load factors" (noun) produced (verb) shortfalls (direct object); -OR- your original was okay before as  "...debts and 'load factors' led to shortfalls". As you said, removing the inserted text between the em dashes makes it easier to construct (and copy edit) Clipper471 04:07, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As I noted, you're adding an "and" to the sentence that's not in the sentence as written.  "To produce" is being used as a full infinitive following the verb "combined".  Your revision makes sense if I had used "and", but I didn't.  My sentence effectively reads "These debts combined to produce"; your sentence effectively reads, "These debts combined produced".  Look again, Mr. Copy Editor. DiogenesNY 04:18, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ahhh! I was reading it as "the debts /combined with the sub-par load factors/ to produce...", not that the debts actually combined. Perhaps commas would be a good idea. But how do debts "combine"? Clipper471 04:25, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The debts are Factor 1, the sub-par load factors are Factor 2; combined, they lead to the result.  As in, "The sunny day combined with the warm temperatures to produce ideal weather for golf." DiogenesNY 04:30, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Your original "these debts combined /with the sub-par load factors/ led to ... shortfalls" is better. Clipper471 04:33, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Okay as is. Seeing it more clearly now. The text that's set off seems to break the flow more than I'm comfortable with since it's so long. Clipper471 04:37, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Braniff Logo.JPG

message: 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.

replies: text: Comment most of the article is "History" so moving that to another article would not leave much, probably better to move the accidents and incidents to make the article smaller. MilborneOne (talk) 15:38, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

text: * Reply - , a small summary of the history can be left in place. --Jax 0677 (talk) 16:28, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

text: OK, as long as it is coherent and discusses the major points in the history which can be expanded in the sub-article. MilborneOne (talk) 19:17, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

text: * Reply - , it would be easier to paraphrase an internet site that briefly describes the history, but if you insist, I will trim the sections down one by one like I have started to do. --Jax 0677 (talk) 17:04, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
