Note:  Air carrier aircraft are aircraft carrying passengers or cargo for hire 
under 14 CFR 121 (large aircraft-more than 30 seats) and 14 CFR 135 (small 
Aircraft--30 seats or less).  This definition is more encompassing than that 
used in the FAA Aviation Forecast--jet aircraft 60 seats or more carrying 
passengers or cargo for hire.
