Northeast an Example
Take the case of Northeast Air
lines, for example.
Northeast operates a fleet Of
Wright Cyclone-powered Douglas
DC-3 airliners up through the main
arteries of the New England states.
Only a short time ago, the airline
grew out Of It's cd routes and ex-
tended its service southwark, from
Boston to New York. And it will
probably not be long before North
east reaches out again--perhaps
even to Europe.
Put looking at Northeast as the
typical airline that you would like
to operate, note first that 1t took a
lot Of living to make it what 1t is
today. Back IN the early thirties,
Northeast - by another name -
came into Boston to start service
to Maine. Its founders had $4,000
In cash and three used second hand
tri-motored Stinsons. That is not
big start for a big transportation
business. Imagine the Union Pa
cific operating transcontinental
service on $4,000 and three used
locomotives
The early years were full of adj

on the airport and had to be chased
away before the planes could land;
another time it was a moose.

drifts. New Englanders from Cape

Business Was Good
When better times and improved
equipment arrived for this New
England airline, Northeast flew
more and more passengers on more
and more scheduled flights. BY
1888. Northeast's president, Paul
f. Collins, was able to report that
his airplanes had flown 209,775
miles in one month, an increase Of
1049 per cent over It's earlier peak
month in May, of 1887. Northeast
built its own instrument repair
shops, set up its own training
school--even wrote many Of its own
training texts. And Northeasts
founders decided: now at last it's
smooth sai.ing--this airline has ar.
rived.
