to be flown by the same plane.
An airplane is different from your car-one
doesn't Just step in and drive away. All Of the
weight aboard the aircraft must be added-up and
distributed properly so that it flies smoothly and
safely. The compilation of the items aboard the
plane and their placement takes a few minutes Of
time and must take place before the flight de-
parts. The computations involved are important to
your safety and cannot be hurried.
Since vie are sure that each Of you wants
your flight to go and come on time, you will un-
derstand why it is that we must insist that all
passengers arrive and be checked-in at least 80
minutes before departure time.
Our employees are instructedHt to "close-out1
flights according to this schedule and are not per-
mitted to accept passengers who arrive later than
s0aninutes before departure Of our flights.
We are sending this open letter to our friends
and customers 50 that you will know why we
must take this action.
Yours For Better Service,
