The Song Behind the Number
Parton wrote “9 to 5” for the 1980 movie she made with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, and it did something none of her other songs ever managed. On Feb. 21, 1981, it started a two-week run at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. That was the first time she topped the all-genre chart as a solo artist. It was also the last. The song hit No. 1 on the country and adult contemporary charts the same week, won her two Grammys, and picked up an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song.
American Is Not the Only Airline Doing It
Allegiant got there first. It announced its own Flight 925 earlier this year, a themed charter from Orlando to Knoxville with Dollywood experiences on the ground and in the air. It sold out fast enough that a second flight was added, numbered 2925. Both fly Nov. 6.
Those were booked while she was still alive, as a celebration rather than a tribute.
Parton died Aug. 25 in Nashville, at 80, after a brief battle with cancer. The American Airlines change is still about six months out.
The Comments Filled Up Fast
Readers under the announcement post had notes. One wanted the schedule to match the joke: “Should have had the flight leave at 9:25AM.” Another hoped her song was playing on the way down into Nashville. Someone else said they had already asked Frontier to put a butterfly on a tail and name the plane Dolly.
