...most encouraging features of the experiment is that it would impose higher performance standards on the third-levels that participate.

The accident death rate for every 100,000 hours flown is 1.31 for the third-levels, as compared with .09 for the nation's eleven "first-level" trunk carriers and nine regionals. After a Chicago & Southern Airlines plane crashed last month at Peoria, Ill., killing 16, the Government's National Transportation Safety...

Some of the larger third-levels, like Philadelphia's eight-plane Altair, demand that their pilots have trunk-style experience. But the smaller third-levels, many of them Mom-and-Pop outfits with one or two single-engine planes, generally...

...First-Round Limits. By now, New York's lower courts have gotten the message.

The pairing plan is unlikely to produce "oppressive results or hardships," ruled the court, and may in fact produce more teachers and smaller classes for pupils of all races...
