Airlines face subsidy critique at congressional hearing
A congressional committee questioned post office air mail contracts revealing Braniff Air Lines could haul mail at 17.7 cents a mile while United Air Lines received 64 cents. Braniff argued the subsidy hurts competition and national defense, claiming the postal department spends 20 million dollars yearly to support under 400 pilots and that United controls most contracts. The hearing, with witnesses from both sides, is expected to continue several days.
