Airline Executives and Federal Regulation: Case Studies in American Enterprise from the Airmail Era to the Dawn of the Jet Age.
While the airlines continued in the industry by simply changing their names and ending their affiliations with aircraft manufacturers, individual company leaders like Hann were excluded from participating in the growth and development of the industry they helped to found.
Even today when airlines are characterized as being driven by faceless "beancounters" and executives with little or no personal love for flying, the airline industry continues to boast more than its fair share of characters who are seemingly larger than life.

Mohawk Airlines Flight 405, a Fairchild FH227B twin-engine turboprop registered N7818M, was a domestic scheduled passenger flight operated by Mohawk Airlines that crashed into a house on March 3, 1972, on final approach to Albany International Airport, New York, killing 17 people.
The weather at the airport was reported to the flight crew as "ceiling indefinite, 1,200 feet obscured, 2 miles visibility in light snow, surface winds (from) 360 degrees (north) at 9 knots".
As the Fairchild FH227B twin-engine turboprop reached 8.5 miles from the airport, the flight crew contacted the Mohawk's company operations center via radio and informed them that the left propeller was 'hung up' in the cruise pitch lock, which would prevent normal thrust reduction on that side, needed for landing.

 US Airways | History
Toward the end of the 1950’s, several local-service airlines needed to move beyond the piston airplanes that had faithfully and safely carried thousands of passengers to the more powerful and reliable turbo-props, and Allegheny Airlines was no exception.
After the merger with Mohawk Airlines, and with the final phase-out of the Martin 202 aircraft, Allegheny found that several cities could not support the larger turbo-prop and jet aircraft due to either small populations or small airports.
While the Convair 580 continued to serve the airline well, a decision was made to have a pure jet fleet and have Allegheny Commuter continue to operate the 580’s.
