They were, apparently, looking for you and me and the girl down the hall, the one who runs a vacuum cleaner every Sunday morning at 6 a. m.

The airlines have obligated themselves to pay a cool $10 billion to convert to the jumbo 747 and other wide-bodied jets, the DC-10 and L-1011-$6.6 billion for the planes themselves, the rest for additional equipment and ground facilities...
