Peach is an airline Dresi- dent who goes around bluntly proclaiming that his planes usually are late. But Peach, who heads Mo hawk Airlines, doesn't mind ad- mitlintr tarriinrcc &n inner at tho public recognizes the reason. The reason, according lo Peach, is the allotted in. efficiency of the federal Air iraiuc control tAiuj system. He claims ATC operates fine for the lnn0.haill nlamnpnnc irane- continental flights but falls flat on us radarscopes when it comes to moving short-haul traf fic like Mohawk. The carrier serves mainly New York State but stretches as far west as De troit and as far south as Pitts burgh. "Airlines like American, TWA and United accept delays on their short-haul routes so long as they enjoy ATC efficiency on their long flights," Peach said in an interview. "They've got cake plus bread-and-butter all we've got is bread-and-butter." Peach has taken his beef in vain lo the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA, which operates the nation's ATC system. "FAA says we want special treatment." Peach aririprf "Rs,. loney. All we want is equal treatment for our passengers. rAA says it can t discriminate amonn airlines nr nassenners 1 say it's doing just that dis criminating against the fre quent air commuter in favor of the people who make one or two or at the most four trans continental trips a year." Works Out Plan Two vears aeo. Mnhawk work. ed out with New York's Idle- wiid Airport control center a method of reducing takpnff He. lays during congested periods. ine soiuuon was simple. Mo hawk was using 12,000-foot run ways for twin-engine Convairs which needed only 6,000 feet for takeoffs. Peach proposed that Mohawk's planes take off from halfway down the runway, in stead of having to taxi to the end. In this way, the airline's smaller planes could get take off clearances sandwiched in be tween those for the jets and avoid delays. "It worked fine," Peach said.. "But the FAA reconsidered and decided it was discriminating against the jets in favor of us. and told us we'd have to wail, our turn even when we were ready to go from the 6,000-foot mark. "Discriminating against, whom? One of our passengers pays us $17 for a 50 -minute flight with time his chief moti-'. valion for flying and then has. to spend an additional 30 min-' ulcs on the ground. The ma-' jority of our passengers are; businessmen trying to make ap-: pointments. Arrival time is not' as vital an element to the guy paying $150 for a transcontinen-: tal flight, and anyway a jet usually can make up 20 or 30 minutes on a long trip. "We have many customers who make 40 trips a year with Mohawk and maybe four with a transcontinental carrier. For. my money, you should gear ATC to the most frequent user of air travel." , Fact Of Life Peach said the FAA has never accepted a fact of life that commuter air traffic by businessmen is not only increas ing but in 10 years will become the most important type of traf fic from the standpoint of volume. "We average only about 50 per cent on - time performance now," the Mohawk chief said. "If we could operate on time consistently, it would be the equivalent of adding four pay ing passengers to every flight and would mean more than $) million a year additional revenue. Peach conceded that the ATC system has technical problems. "It's also over-cautious, indif ferent at times and inexcuse ably inefficient." he insisted. Halaby (Xajecb E. Halaby. FAA administrator) is a very fine man and able public ser vant hut he should be concen trating more on these bread-and-butter problems instead of spending oo per cent of his time on supersonic transports. Dulles Airport and fighting with ron eressmen. I don't hlame him for gelling preoccupied with the more glamorous issues, but this is no casual situation for air lines like Mohawk and Allegheny." Skyway Rapid lransrt Proposed in Houston HOUSTON. Tex. (UPI)-Ber-nard E. Calkins, head of the firm which operates buses in Houston, has proposed a "skv way rapid transit" svstem for (he city. Calkins suEgested elevated streets be built above the city's freeways and allocated exclus ively for specially desicned ex press buses.
