Pride Air's story began with a bold idea: build an employee-owned airline around a New Orleans hub and connect distant markets through the city. Backed by many former Continental employees, the carrier launched flights on August 1, 1985, then suspended operations that November after cash-flow trouble and competition. This golf towel brings a little-known airline chapter to the course, with a nod to the ambition, changing routes, and short operating life that make Pride Air memorable to aviation and airline-history collectors.
Pride Air was a United States airline founded by Paul Eckel, a former chief pilot for Continental Airlines. Eckel served as chairman and chief executive and hoped to build an employee-owned, low-cost airline based in New Orleans. Many early investors were former Continental employees, who raised $15.5 million to launch the venture. The company selected New Orleans International Airport (MSY) as its hub because no airline then dominated the airport. Kansas City was considered as an alternative, but Pride Air reconsidered after Eastern Airlines expanded service there. Flights began on August 1, 1985. The business plan centered on linking cities in California and Florida through New Orleans, with Denver, Las Vegas, and Salt Lake City also on the proposed network. Although conceived as a low-cost operation, the airline initially offered a fuller-service model. Competition from Continental in the New Orleans market, alongside cash-flow problems, led Pride Air to suspend flights on November 15, 1985, after roughly three months of operations. The following December, it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The supplied history records no successor or merger.
