Jet age boosts long haul with new airliner rules
NEW HAZARDS Jet age raises pilot and passenger risk as new jet crafts promise faster routes. Four special commit tees recommended to the Air Line Pilots Association push to cut maximum flight time from 35 to 6 hours daily on new planes and shorten schedules. Round trips LA to NYC would drop to about nine hours 32 minutes on the Boeing 707 and 12 hours 58 minutes on the Lockheed El Al, versus 16 hours in existing DC-8s.
