tributed by the Aircoach Trans
port Assn, which represents sev
eral non-scheduled air lines.
Amos E. Heacock, president of
the association, charged that the
CAB “decree” came as a result of
“a calculated campaign by the
scheduled airlines to gouge mill
ions of extra transportation dol
lars from the American public.”
“Once they’ve driven the nan
scheduled airlines from the field,
they’ll jack their rates at least
one-third higher,” Heacock said.
He added that the Board’s order
would “paralyze air transport to
Alaska” and cut off low - cost
transportation for troops on fur
lough.
Alaskan legislators, he said “for
warded a unanimous plea to CAB
for reconsideration of its ruling,
on grounds that non-scheduled
airlines were the backbone of the
Territory’s transportation.”
