	Metropolis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The word was used in post-classical Latin for the chief city of a province, the seat of the government, and in particular ecclesiastically for the seat or see of a metropolitan bishop to whom suffragan bishops were responsible.
		In this sense "metropolitan" usually means "spanning the whole metropolis" (as in "metropolitan administration"); or "proper of a metropolis" (as in "metropolitan life", and opposed to "provincial" or "rural").
		A metropolis (in Greek metera = mother and polis = city/town) is a major city, which is an economical and cultural center for some country, and usually a hub for its international connections.

		With investors now convinced of the airline's viability, management is looking at expanding services to and beyond its 29 destinations in southeastern Australia and adding to the fleet of 20 34-seat Saab 340 planes and seven 19-seat Metro 23s.

		The 47-year-old Singaporean businessman was one of Rex's founding shareholders when the airline was formed from former Ansett subsidiaries Kendell and Hazelton in August 2002 and was instrumental in the changes that rocked the airline last year.

	Russian Woman Message Board - 24552 airline reservations
		I am not sure what airline your using or if I may be missing something but the airline I took (Northwest booked with KLM) did reserve my seat.
		We pay hundreds of dollars for a plane reservation yet we have to be at the airport 2 or 3 hours before the flight is scheduled to get a boarding pass which physically guarantees us a seat.
		So the airline reservation seems to only serve to reserve us a place on the plane and the boarding pass assigns us a place to sit.

	Charter airline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The economics of charter flights demand that the flights should operate on the basis of near 100% seat occupancy, and the standard of seating and service may be lower than on scheduled airlines (though this is by no means always the case).
		Although charter airlines typically carry passengers who have booked individually or as small groups to beach resorts, historic towns, or cities where a cruise ship is awaiting them, sometimes an aircraft will be chartered by a single group such as members of a company, a sports team, or the military.
		Furthermore charter airlines frequently operate on routes, or to airports, where there is no scheduled service.

	LAN Passenger Opinions about LAN product standards and LAN service quality
		On this holiday I did not experience any space problems with any of the other airlines we flew with, however with this particular airbus; the seatbelts are short, the seat width is tiny, and the armrests on the aisle do not move.
		I noticed someone wrote that Lan's 767 doesn't have personal tv's and this is not true - they are changing the seats in all of their 767's and the other thing is Lan's 767 also fly to LAX as well the A-340 - all LanChile's planes are almost new.
		This is one of those airlines that takes pride on their image making and leaves the passenger service by the wayside.

		III.A. Accident Rate for Commuter Operations The airline industry that uses airplanes with a passenger-seating capacity of 60 or fewer seats to conduct scheduled operations under parts 121 and 135 is an essential part of the air transportation network in the U.S. These airlines now fly more than all airlines did in 1958.
		"Commuter," "commuter airline," and "commuter operator" mean those operators conducting scheduled passenger-carrying operations under part 135 in airplanes with a passenger-seating capacity of 30 or fewer seats.
		Commuter Technology expresses concern that a revised part 139 may result in the application of airplane operator security regulations of part 108 and the airport security regulations of part 107 to air carriers using aircraft with a seating capacity of 30 or fewer seats.

		Ted, with a fleet of 45 Airbus A320 jets, accounts for 10 percent of United's seat capacity.

		The airline announced the new venture Wednesday in New York, where Song's maiden voyage will originate on April 15, according to a statement posted on Delta's Web site.
		Delta Air Lines hopes its new low-fare airline, Song, will strike the right chord with cost-conscious travelers.

	Delta's IT Test Pilot - Computerworld
		Song is targeted at cost-conscious leisure travelers, taking over routes from the defunct Delta Express, whose demise from cost overruns was partly tied to its low-volume, 119-seat 737-200 jets.
		Because Song has hired from within Delta, it has the same personnel costs as the larger airline and won't have a cost-cutting culture built in from the beginning, as a true start-up could.
		Song is using a common-sense blend of technology and people power to drive costs down and revenue up, while functioning as a pilot project for the greater Delta operation.

	Airline to fly to New York for a Song
		Song's 757s are configured for 199 seats in a single class, with seat pitch -- the distance between seats -- at 33 inches.
		The low-cost airline is beating revenue projections, and it is doing better than had been expected on operating costs, she said.
		Although nearly all other low-cost airlines operate either Boeing's 737, such as Southwest, or the Airbus A320, such as JetBlue, Song is using the bigger 757s from parent Delta.
