Regular Air Fares Deemed Excessive by L B Witness
Stanley Weiss of Long Beach, president of Standard Airlines, told a Senate small business subcommittee that regular carriers profit from an unsupportable transportation policy by the CAB. He cited a transcontinental fare of 156 dollars vs 99 dollars for non-scheduled lines, plus mail pay, as evidence of subsidies to scheduled services. The subcommittee also scrutinized CAB limits on non-scheduled flights, which Weiss says threaten his operations, and urged raising the cap to 10 to 12 flights a month between major cities.
