		The commuter operators affected are those conducting scheduled passenger-carrying operations in airplanes that have passenger-seating configurations of 10 to 30 seats (excluding any crewmember seat) and those conducting scheduled passenger-carrying operations in turbojet airplanes regardless of seating configuration.
		Affected commuters being upgraded to part 121 by this rule will be required to conduct all of their scheduled operations under part 121 regardless of the number of scheduled operations.
		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.

	AIRLINES - PILOT CAREER -LEARN TO FLY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		For example, Trans States Airlines, a commuter airline with operations on the East coast (as well as the midwest and the west coast), flies passengers from cities such as Boston, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Baltimore and Richmond to New York City's JFK International Airport, the hub of its partner airline TWA.
		Commuter airlines often form "code sharing agreements" or marketing arrangements with a big brother airline where the marketing of the shorter flights falls under the wing of the major airline.
		Under these arrangements the commuter airline (usually an independent company) benefits through name recognition and increased traffic, while the major airline benefits through service to a larger network (more towns served) and increased revenue (takes a percentage of the commuter airline's ticket sales).

	Pilot Pay vs. Accident Rates
		Commuter airline accident rates are 5 times greater/unit exposure than major airlines.
		This new generation of pilots, unlike military-trained pilots of the past, come to their first airline pilot job with heavy educational debt in the $50,000 to $100,000 range, with a salary structure that has not increased during the last decade.
		Commuter airlines used to have a significantly higher accident rate, especially before Deregulation.

	The Power of Words. CODE SHARING: Critics say marketing of commuter flights misleads travelers Warwick resident
		Because code sharing often obscures the identity of a commuter airline, travelers have remained largely in the dark about which company they're entrusting their lives to when they board an airplane.
		Pilots at commuter airlines are almost always younger, less experienced, and lower paid than their counterparts at the majors.
		MAJOR AIRLINES say they place their names and colors on commuter planes in order to lend an air of familiarity and goodwill to carriers whose real names and safety records are unknown to many passengers.

	Comair Flight 3272 - The Enquirer - January 18, 1997
		Because commuter airlines make shorter trips than commercial flights, they must take off and land many more times to cover the same amount of ground, thus making them more likely to be involved in a crash, according to the report.
		FAA inspections of the smaller commuter airlines generally found inspectors often were more lax on the small planes, the auditors said.
		Barton and four current airline pilots recently interviewed by The Enquirer focuses on what they say is the FAA's failure to accelerate testing of ice-buildup problems involving turboprop aircraft, such as the Embraer 120 Brasilia involved in the Comair crash.

	USATODAY.com - Commuter crash is first in 6 years (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The reforms of the commuter airline industry required it to largely follow the same safety, maintenance and oversight rules that the large airlines are subject to.
		Airlines also had to make substantial changes to their fleets of aircraft to bring them up to the standards of the new regulations.
		Among the worst commuter accidents were the Comair crash in 1997 and an American Eagle crash on Oct. 31, 1994.

	Competitive Enterprise Institute
		Under the FAA's proposal, certain commuter airplane operators that now use airplanes of 10 to 30 seats under the less-stringent part 135 would be required to conduct those operations under part 121 instead.
		Even though the safety of commuter airplanes is improving, it is indisputable that "there are inherent differences between the 6-seater and the jet" (60 FR 16232/2), which contribute to the different safety records of commuter planes.
		Moreover, FAA's allusion to domestic part 121 airlines suggests that foreign airline accident rates may be significantly higher; if so, then the agency has failed to explain why the alleged commuter airline safety problem needs to addressed through regulation, while that of foreign airlines is left to individual passenger choice.

	History
		Commuter Air Technology was founded in 1982 by aviation consultant Keith Nickels.
		Commuter airlines and Part 135 commercial operators expressed an urgent need for a more versatile and capable aircraft in the 13-15-passenger arena.
		Regional commuter airline operators wanted a 13-15 passenger pressurized turbine aircraft with more speed, greater range, higher payload capacity and low operating costs.

	'Hey, Lou, this propeller looks pretty sturdy to me.' - commuter airline safety Washington Monthly - Find Articles
		As of 1987, the average number of passengers each minor airline served had quadrupled from ten years ago, to nearly 190,000, although the number of carriers was down to 169.
		The Regional Airline Association (RAA), representing the owners of the small airlines, has long argued that because of the cost, requiring the same safety from commuter airlines as from the major airlines would force many of them out of business, leaving some communities without any air service.
		Professional aviationwatchdogs say, for example, the RAA currently is lobbying against commuters having to carry onboard automatic technical data recorders, which are important for analysis in the event of a crash.

	Aircraft pilots and flight engineers
		Airlines operate flights at all hours of the day and night, so work schedules often are irregular.
		Pilots are located across the country, but airline pilots usually are based near major metropolitan airports or airports operating as hubs for the major airlines.
		Earnings of airline pilots are among the highest in the Nation, and depend on factors such as the type, size, and maximum speed of the plane and the number of hours and miles flown.

	Regional airline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These commuter airlines are sometimes subsidiaries of the major airline or fly under a code sharing agreement.
		Other regional airlines are formed to serve particular low-use routes and are often most important to small and isolated communities, for whom the airline is the only reasonable link to a larger town.
		Many of the regional airlines in the United States and to a lesser extent in Europe and the United Kingdom eventually transitioned to regional jets, notably the Embraer or Canadair designs, in the 1990s.

		Commuter airlines, which fly shorter routes than major airlines, are under pressure because apparently "passengers are driving as an alternative" since the Sept. 11 attacks, says Deborah McElroy, president of the Regional Airline Association.
		While most major airlines cut their schedules by 15% to 20% after Sept. 11, regional jet departures are down only 6%.
		Commuter airlines "are still seeing some reduced traffic, but they are picking up some routes from the majors," McElroy says.

		Commuter Air Technology (CAT), founded in 1986, is focused on modifications to the King Air platform, which include performance and flight enhancement, commuter and high density passenger systems, military and special missions support, corporate reconfigurations, and cargo conversions.
		Commuter Air Technology developed an early modification package for the King Air that enabled small regional commuter airlines to use the aircraft for their passenger operations.
		Foreign commuter airlines seeking to expand accessibility to many remote and difficult to reach areas, according to Nagel, are purchasing King Airs to fill that niche market, and the modifications and enhancements featured in the CATPASS have made the aircraft an ideal choice.

	Obesity Week -- Your Online ObesityNewsletter
		The FAA has issued new instructions to commuter airlines to begin checking the weight of passengers instead of using guidelines set in 1995 that assumed adults weigh an average of 185 pounds including clothes and a 20-pound carry-on.
		The communter airlines soon will begin asking passengers on the small planes to either step on a scale or report their weight.
		The airlines have been instructed to add 10 pounds to the weights of those self-reporting to account for cheating.

	Indispensable Regionals
		In the 1960s, most US commuter airlines were, in effect, part-time air taxis operating under Part 298 regulations established in the early 1950s by the Civil Aeronautics Board.
		The early commuters were mom-and-pop outfits run by a colorful cadre of irascible entrepreneurs who despite lacking a full complement of management skills were visionaries nonetheless.
		In the 1980s the growth of Regional airlines and the further evolution of codesharing were "driven by the equipment," remembers RAA President Deborah McElroy, who joined the association in 1987.

		The support by National Airline for Florida Airlines (no longer Florida Air Taxi) to fly DC-3' was soon to pay off big time.
		While this was going on a great effort was underway with Delta Airline for a special operating arrangement to be known as “The Delta Connection” (what is now common with almost all Major carriers and commuter’s).

	Fatal Events Since 1970 for American Airlines
		Colombian civil aviation authorities report that at the time of the accident, all navigational beacons were fully serviceable and that the aircraft voice and data recorders did not indicate any aircraft problems.
		22 December 2001; American Airlines 767; en route from Paris to Miami: While in cruise on a flight from Paris to New York, flight attendants noticed that passenger Richard Reid, a British citizen, was attempting to light some type of fuse that was attached to an explosive device in one of his shoes.
		Because this passenger death was due at least in part to the deliberate actions of that passenger, this does not constitute a fatal event as defined by AirSafe.com.

	Inadequate Safety Features Put Commuter Air Passengers At High Risk For Fire Deaths in Crashes
		Passengers in commuter airplanes and air taxis face a major risk of death or injury from fire in crashes because of inadequate fire protection equipment and uncrashworthy fuel systems, according to a Johns Hopkins study.
		The Hopkins researchers note that while fire fatalities have been greatly reduced on major commercial airlines and military aircraft since the 1970s due to stricter safety requirements, they continue to be a high risk on commuter airlines and air taxis, which make more than five million flights a year in the United States.
		The Hopkins team analyzed all commuter and air taxi crashes from 1983-1988 using data from the National Transportation and Safety Board.

	SHAWNEE AIRLINES
		For a few years the three airlines' flight schedules were integrated but during the late 70s Shawnee pretty much continued operations as a seperate entity.
		Shawnee was facing stiff competition from the larger Mackey International Airlines on the Bahamas routes and an increasing number of major carriers were flying directly to Nassau and Freeport, bypassing the need for connecting flights from Florida.
		In the conservative atmosphere of today's generic airline world, an independent carrier like Shawnee flying classic propliners painted in tropical pastels and neon pinks would truly be a bizarre anachronism.
