Not often that you see an airline commercial that talks about the airline's history or is aviation themed. This recent one is pretty well done (there are also a number of other interesting ones about how they made the commercial):

Awesome video!
I want to die like my grandfather did, peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming in terror like his passengers...

What a stirring advertisement.
I think what really brought it home for me was that every one of those pilots, except the last one, was out there without a green safety vest. It's that kind of bravery in the face of danger that made them truly heroes.

Alas, legal requirements and rules now mandate the wearing of the safety vest at Heathrow and airports around the World. Even modern Canadians are a mere shadow of the rough and tumble pioneers who settled the American continent a few centuries ago, gun control is one example.I think what really brought it home for me was that every one of those pilots, except the last one, was out there without a green safety vest.
