CAB Examiner Rejects Delta Evidence in Air Lines Merger Hearing
Civil Aeronautics Board examiner Ralph L. Wiser refused Delta Air Lines’ request to introduce United Air Lines costs of labor protective conditions tied to its absorption of Capital Air Lines. Delta argued such data would guide CAB in assessing merger costs, but the objection was sustained. Delta witnesses then outlined Eastern’s 1960-61 losses and fare practices, while Delta officials warned the merger would cost Delta about 12.8 million in revenue and divert 193 million revenue passenger miles, challenging perceived merger benefits.
