Airline President
Says Planes Are
Late for Reason ...
By ROBERT J. SERLING ;
UPI Aviation Editor
UTICA. N. Y. (UPI) -Rob-'
ert E. 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."
