...collaborators in a production must feel that they are partners and not servants--and I don't mean just the people with big parts. Everything hangs on everybody. Hence the need for a flexible attitude. Of course the director must criticize--and he shouldn't spare the actors. But he must not criticize them for anything that they can't help or change...
...began, the new Luftwaffe was still on the ground. The "few" were now Germans. The German Air Force (or "jaff," as the Americans pronounce it) boasts only 50 trained jet pilots, half of them base-bound as instructors, the rest aloft in a lone F-84 fighter squadron. A spare-parts shortage has grounded 23 of G.A.F.'s 140 planes. The U.S., which had taken Thunderjets out of mothballs for the Germans, tucked them back...
...worry for most airmen is that increasing costs may cause them to lose their profits altogether in the next few years.

San Francisco's cos-t-conscious Southwest Airways has cut ground stops to only 120 seconds, but maintenance and operating costs keep going up. "A spare part that used to cost maybe 80^," explains one airline man, "runs about $5 now, and has to be specially made." Even if the feeders, which operate with an average load factor of 45%, could boost their loads to the big trunklines' average of 65%, the DC-3 would...
