...airlines have some huge bills coming due. They are beginning to pay for the $10.3 billion in new equipment that they have ordered, including the 374-passenger Boeing 747 jets that will go into service before year's end.

Notes must not only be played in sequence linearly but the parts must line up vertically as well. The rhythmic impression stole...
