1 A STATEMENT TO OUR FRIENDS
THE CITIZENS OF ALASKA
By AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATES
We receive so many calls every day from
' the traveling public wanting to know how
we are “progressing in the fight to provide
economical transportation for everybody”
\ that we have decided to issue this statement
» to the citizens of Alaska:
As you know, it was ATA that pioneered
J C-46 air transportation between the States
' and Alaska. After conclusive tests we de
< cided that the C-46 — the Curtis Commando
—was the ship for economical air freight
' and low cost passenger trade between the
> States and Alaska. We started using these
! ships. That was five years ago.
> Streamlined Operations
So successful have the C-46s been in the
Alaskan trade, and so streamlined have
\ been the operations of ATA, that we became
the envy of numerous scheduled carriers.
From the beginning — e ren unto day — our
I type of efficient operation has resulted in
■ the lowest cost air freight end the most
. economical passenger transportation be
! tween the States and Alaska.
; We opened up a new field of passenger
• travel and air cargo. On a demand basis,
the business of ATA grew by leaps and
J bounds. It was conclusively established by
/ the investigations of the U.S. Senate Small
' Business Committee that the low cost non
' schedule operations of ATA did not take
> traffic from the subsidized scheduled car
\
>
riers.
> Compl ed with Every Regulation
1 Our company complied with every regu
A lation and order of the Civil Aeronautics
> Administration. Our maintenance and rou
> tine were as perfect and thorough as that of
| the most rigid scheduled carrier. Yet the
i CAB started a program of economic regula
| tion harassment which finally resulted in
| our appealing to the Federal Court of Ap
i peals in Washington, D.C., for the right to
'> stay in business — to serve the low-cost
,» Alaskan passenger and air freight trade.
J The Federal Court sustained ATA in most
of its contention in its reply to the charges
v of the CAB. ATA was ordered by the Court
to prepare its case for hearing, and rules
> were set down whereby ATA might stay in
-> business and serve the public pending the
'A hearing and the decision.

CAB Dealt ATA Another Blow
However, before the case could be heard,
the CAB dealt ATA another blow. It slapped
down an order cutting the gross weight of
the C-46, when carrying passengers, from
48,000 pounds to 45,000 pounds. The edict
became effective on 48 hours notice, and
took most of the profit out of our operations.
This order was issued in spite of the fact
that a thorough investigation by the CAA
of the C-46 over the past five years has sus
tained the take-off and landing gross weight
of the C-46 at 48,000 pounds. The investi
gation showed the C-45 to be an exceptional
carrier, and the 48,000-pound gross weight,
with passengers, to in no way endanger the
lives of passengers and crew.
The citizens of Alaska can come to only
one conclusion — The CAB will go to any
length to kill oT low cost freight and pas
senger transportation supplied by ATA and
other non-sciieduled carriers.

Are We in Business?
Ye?, we are in business. And we are going
to continue fighting like the very devil to
stay in business. Y.’a ere still bringing into
Alaska a very large volume of the perish
able foods you eat and we are carrying the
bulk of the low-cost passenger business in
and cut of Alaska.

Cm- Thanks to Yen
All of us in ATA want to thank you for
the wonderful support you have given to us
in our fight to serve Alaska and to help in
the development of the Territory.
We are in there pitching for business and
we aim to stay in business.
When our case comes up in the U.S. Court
of Appeals in Washington. D.C., we sin
cerely believe that this high tribunal will
uphold our right under the American flag
to stay in business, to make an honest living
and to perform a much-needed public serv
ice.
When you see a sleek C-46 with a big
ATA on its tail heading north or heading
south, you’ll know that we are doing our
level best to give Alaska the best in low
cost air freight and passenger service.
