 According to the text of the law, currently certificated supplemental carriers would all need to reapply for a certificate, which, if granted, gave the bearer rights to operate chartered service for civilian or military contracts within an individually-defined geographic area.Separately ticketed flights were not permitted unless a carrier demonstrated to the CAB's satisfaction that service in a specific area or along a certain route was needed.Competition, which had given rise to the non-skeds and perpetuated their existence, was thoroughly rooted out.
