Lande & K. Tansey .... VI-22 • VI-2 1 Introduction Weather and population are frequently cited as reasons why U.S.-style airline deregulation is not a feasible policy for Canada. The argument is that Canada's more severe winter weather and its small and dispersed population result in unique oper- ating problems that require the continuation of the extensive regulation that has 1 characterized Canadian air transportation since 1938. At the same time, while these differences between Canada and the United States are relied upon to oppose the imple- WEATHER, POPULATION AND CANADIAN AIRLINE REGULATORY POLICY mentation of deregulation, no explanation is given as to why these differences did not serve to prevent Canada's adoption of airline regulation back in 1938 when regulation was also adopted by the United States.2 This raises the question of why is the argument asymmetrical? Why should weather and population constitute reasons for differentiating between Canadian and U.S. policies since 1978 while not providing a basis for doing so between 1938 and 1978 when regulation was the common policy of both countries? If weather and population have important differentiating effects on William A. Jordan airline per- Professor of Economics formance, it seems reasonable to expect that those concerned with airline operations Faculty of Administrative Studies and regulation would have studies that York University sponsored or been aware of measured the effects of those factors so that specific adjustments could have been made to reflect their impact. Yet, nowhere in their statements regarding weather and population have the opponents of deregulation referred to research findings that support their assertions. This apparent lack of formal evidence deserves to be rectified. In a recently completed research project jointly sponsored by Consumer and Corporate Affairs Canada and the Economic Council of Canada (in collaboration with Transport Canada), the question of the effects of weather and population differences was studied within the context of whether or not regulation has an appreciable effect on airline performance.3 While major performance differences were found to be asso- ciated with differences in regulation, both direct and indirect evidence failed to identify appreciable effects of either weather or population on operating expenses per RTM or on employee productivity. This paper will summarize these research findings. In the process, it will demonstrate that substantial similarities existed in airline operations in the two countries under common regulatory environments, thereby implying that airline performance in the two countries would also be similar under deregulation. Methodology and Data Sources The research project was based on comparisons of the performance of the Canadian CTRF Annual Meeting May 26-28, 1982 airlines operating large turbine Montreal, Quebec -powered aircraft with that of selected U.S. airlines operating the same aircraft types.

Except for Delta and Southern, they were selected because their systemwide geographic operating Weather and Airline Performance areas were most similar to those of the Canadian carriers.

Especially adverse weather can often be avoided by flying over four U.S. airlines included in the study were not regulated by a An additional to around it at relatively low additional cost, while surface carriers generally have federal commission. These were the four major intrastate carriers -- Air California, plough through adverse conditions. Airlines are, however, disadvantaged relative to Air Florida, PSA and Southwest -- that, prior to the end of 1978, were regulated only surface carriers in terms of weather in and around terminals. Airplanes can only stop by state commissions. Since these intrastate carriers served city pairs within (land) at airports, and this can be done only if local weather conditions are not too Texas that were also served by CAB-regulated airlines, they California, Florida and or severe. Also, an airplane cannot depart from an airport if it is closed by weather operated within regulatory duopolies comprised, on the one hand, of a group of air- if the destination and alternative airports are forecast to be closed at the estimated the other hand, by intrastate carriers regulated lines regulated by the CAB and, on are time of arrival. Clearly, the critical weather conditions of airline operations was in sharp contrast to the regulatory monopolies that by a state commission.

Thus, a comparison of the of the U.S. under the CAB, and in Canada under the existed throughout the remainder conditions of weather on airline performance can concentrate on the relative weather CTC(A).

Claim based on 12 invoices for air transporta- tion and warehousing services provided under Air Force contract may not be considered since services under invoices were performed more than 6 years before claim was received by General Accounting Office. Therefore, 31 U.S.C. § 71a (1976) prevents considera- tion of claim. 2. Claim based on three invoices for similar services is denied since: (1) first invoice evidences claim against private party, not Government; (2) copy of second invoice has not been sub- mitted and record does not show any other documentation to support payment of claimed amount; and (3) third invoice evidences fuel charge which was cost to contractor, not Govern- ment.

    Last updated 10 March 2021 BEECH 18 PRODUCTION LIST Compiled by Geoff Goodall PART 2: BEECH D18S/ D18C & RCAF EXPEDITER Mk.3 (Built at Wichita, Kansas between 1945 and 1957) Beech D18S VH-FIE (A-808) flown by owner Rod Lovell at Mangalore, Victoria in April 1984. Photo by Geoff Goodall The D18S was the first new commercial Beechcraft model at the end of World War II. It began a production run of 1,800 Beech 18 variants for the post-war market (D18S, D18C, E18S, G18S, H18), all built by Beech Aircraft Company at their Wichita Kansas plant. The “S” suffix indicated it was powered by the reliable 450hp P&W Wasp Junior series. The first D18S c/n A-1 was first flown in October 1945 at Beech field, Wichita. On 5 December 1945 the D18S received CAA Approved Type Certificate No.757, the first to be issued to any post-war aircraft. The first delivery of a new model D18S to a customer departed Wichita the following day. From 1947 the D18C model was available as an executive version with more powerful 525hp Continental R-9A radials, also offered as the D18C-T passenger transport approved by CAA for feeder airlines. Beech assigned c/n prefix "A-" to D18S production, and "AA-" to the small number of D18Cs. Total production of the D18S, D18C and Canadian Expediter Mk.3 models was 1,035 aircraft.

THE TRANSITION TO SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (SMS) IN AVIATION: IS CANADA DEREGULATING FLIGHT SAFETY? RENE´ DAVID-COOPER* ABSTRACT In 2013, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) adopted Annex 19 to the Chicago Convention to implement Safety Management Systems (SMS) for airlines around the world. While most ICAO Member States worldwide are still in the early stages of introducing SMS, Canada became the first and only ICAO country in 2008 to fully implement SMS for all Canadian-registered airlines. This article will highlight the documented shortcomings of SMS in Canada during the implementation of the first ever SMS framework in civil aviation. While air carriers struggled to un- derstand and introduce SMS into their operations, this article will illustrate how Transport Canada (TC) did not have the knowledge or the necessary resources to properly guide airline operators during this transition, how SMS was improperly tai- lored for smaller air carriers, and how the Canadian govern- ment canceled safety inspections around the country, leaving many air carriers partially unregulated.

Lake,. J.M. Serafin and A., Mozes Research Branch, Canadian Transport Commission INTRODUCTION In 1981 the Air Transport Committee and the 'Research Branch of the Canadian Transport Commission on a joint basis, and in conjunction with the major Canadian airlines, (who formed a Task Force) undertook a programme of studies concerning airline pricing and financial performance. This paper is based on a CTC Working Paper' which presented current data on the topic, and interpreted them in the context of the financial and regulatory circumstances faced by the airlines as of July 1984. ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE The trends illustrated in Figure 1 suggest that air trans- portation may have reached the stage of a mature industry with air . travel/transport no longer accounting for an increasing proportion of economic activity. This mile/stone in the industry's life cycle, if in fact it has been reached, would suggest that an apparent fall in the income elasticity of demand for air travel between 1981 and 1983 could persist. As data reflecting the apparent demand re- surgence of 1984 become available, the picture may change, but 1 LAKE Figure 2 Figure 1 AIR FARE INDICES AIR TRANSPORT REVENUE AS A PERCENT OF GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT 1.90 1.20.. 1.80. 1.70 - 1.10 -, 1.60. ..... 1.50. .. 8 .: . 1.40 -, r,.
