AIRLINIiS
North Carolina
July£. 1949
Congratulations to RDU for the largest numerical
increase. I'll bet that Ken Ross and his boys
go over 600 this month. Any takers? Don't
overlook MRH - their business more than doubled
and they will come near the 200 mark this month.
Look at IMN - that's a mighty nice increase and
they will go over the 400 mark this month. By
the way, they loaded 10,186 lbs. of frei^t
during June and that is a record and a lot of
sweat - I mean a lot of flouvers. Yes Sir, Bill
Rehder and his boys deserve a lot of credit for
a good job. No claims so far (l say vdth crossed
fingers). Remember fellows, the excess valuation
charge on flowers and chickens is now #2,00 per
hundred instead of the usual dime. I seem to
.have wandered from the original subject. I
ibelieve it was boarding passengers. Well, I
would just like to give you a few stations to
watch ~ ORF seems to be on the way. IMN i.\dll
continue- watch CLT and AVL, The improved
connecting service will help considerably.
TRANSFER AIR FREIGHT SHIPMENTS TO liAILWAY
EXPRESS AT CVG - The boys in Cincinnati have
advised us that the air freight shipments
arriving in Cincinnati for transfer to railway
e^qpress, that it is necessary for these ship
ments to be delivered do’^m toim by a contract
freight carrier, inasmuch as railway express
cannot pick up air freight shipments at the
airport, t'linimum charges for this delivery
service are #1.15.
Please watch your air bills and in cases ^^ere
this sort of transfer is necessary, be sure
that these additional charges are included in
the airbill so that we vdll not be liable for
these charges. This is particularly true in the
case of prepaid shipments, as on collect
shipments the additional charges can be added
after arrival in Cincinnati. If there is any
question as to proper amounts to chcirge, contact
CVG giving them weights and other necessary
information as to the shipment and they will
advise you as to the correct charges to be
added to the airbill. Please watch this
carefully, as this could cause considerable
difficulty and expense if not properly handled, -
