It hould b noted that total operating revenue (tran portation revenue 
plu war contract f e income and mi cellaneou income from other operatin 
ource ) amount to $4,719,148, or 95% of la t year, in pite of the 50% reduction 
in our fleet of commercial airplane . 
Operating expen e declined 21 % under the previous year as a re ult of 
curtailed operation . P er mile co ts increased a a natural re ult of the eriou 
reduction of chedule , of cost attributable to wartime operating conditions, 
and of the increase in revenue-producing loads. 
It hould be noted that thi y ar' profit from disposal of depreciable as ets 
i $28,015 while the previou year' figure of $398,646 included the book profit 
on eight airplane old for war purpo e at the request of the United State 
Government. No uch ale were made thi year. 
Your company' end-of-the-year urplu of $1,469,489 repre ent an increa e 
of $496,841 during the year. Also at the end of the year current as et exceeded 
current liabilitie by $1,391,363, an improvement of $322,948 during the year. 
A dividend of fifty cents per share was declared on August 3, 1943, payable 
September 1, 1943. 
Equipment 
Throughout the year your co1npany owned and operated seven Dougla 
DC-3 21-pa senger plane in commercial service and owned and operated various 
mall hip for training. After the clo e of the year, on August 4, 1943, the Army 
return d to us one of the Douglas DC-3's old to the government by us la t 
yeaJ. We are making every effort to have additional ships returned to us so as to 
further meet traffic demands and to re tore service to citie where we ,; 
vere forced 
to di continue ervice temporarily. 
Financing 
At the beginning of the year, $142,500 was owed to bank , representing the 
balance till out tanding of money borrowed to purcha e aircraft. This amount 
wa paid off, and no loans were out tanding on June 30, 1943. During the year, 
ubstantial bank borrowing ,vere made to finance war contracts. The e were 
sup equentl.) paid, and the contracts are now _ financed by advance payment 
received from the Army. 
A shown in the proxy tatement which this report accompanie the man- 
agement propo e that the company' authorized capital tock be increa ed from 
300,000 shares to 600,000 share and that the director be authorized to i sue 
uch amount of the uni ued common hare at such prices and terms as may 
be fixed by the Board. The management believe that future development in 
the company's busirie to be rea onably anticipated will require ubstantial 
amount of additional capital. 
Personnel 
The year' operation. have been of uch a. character and macrnitude a to 
2 
 call for a net increa e in employment of 371 % during the year. Thi fact, to- 
gether with other , ha. re ulted in variou change in previou ly exi ting labor 
agreement . There are three such labor agreement -one with pilots, one with 
radio operators and one "ith maintenance and other mechanical and ground 
ervice per onnel. 
egotiation invoh ed in labor aureement change during the ) ear have 
been conducted in a pirit of mutual confidence and re pon ibility. 
During the year a branch of the A W-CIO petitioned the National Labor 
Relations Board to certif} it as the authorized bargaining ag nt for certain em- 
plo.) ee covered b.) an agreement between the company and the Air Line 
Mechanic A sociation, International. The NLRB declined juri diction on the 
ground that the matter involved employee of an air carrier ubject to the 
Railway Labor Act and therefor wa properly a matter \\ ithin the juri diction 
of the National Mediation Board. 
Operations in Wartime 
Co1mnercial Operations 
\i'\ have carried much heavier a, rage pa.) loads than ever befor . A,ail- 
able pa enger, mail and expre bu ine , mo t of it of great importance to our 
countr.) 's "ar effort , ha exceeded the capacity of our fleet. Thi ha called for 
our best effort to utiliz equipment to the full extent allowed by af ty. 
War Contract Operations 
We have carried on vital "ar job under contract with the U. . Army to 
the point where our war work a m a ured by mployment exceed that of any 
other dome tic airline. A anticipated in my la t year' report to } ou. our em- 
ployment at June 30, 1943, wa 8 369 and ha ince pa ed 10,000. Our highe t 
peak of employment for strictly commercial operation wa 881. 
One of our large war job i the operation of a military car0 
o airline aero 
western Canada to Ala ka. Thi important work ha demanded our be t effort 
in developing quickly an airline organization which has been proven capable of 
conducting vital operations under adver e and changinu condition . 
At St. Paul, Niinnesota, your compan) i operatino the largest aircraft modi- 
fication center under airline manag ment. Here we have had the re pon ibility 
of recruiting and training thou and of worker for thi key ta k. 
At , andalia. Ohio, (adjoining the Dayton Municipal Airport) "e are 
operating an accelerated en ice te ting center in collaboration with the S. 
Army. Thi is relat d to the Army's aircraft modification program and i a 
valuable part of the Air Corp program.

In furtherance of it plan for expan ion both during the war and in the 
po t-war period, your company ha filed the following application for route

Wi consin. Dubuque, Iowa, and LaCros e Wi con in; 
( e) From 1inneapoli -St. Paul, Minnesota, to Billings, Montana, via Aber- 
deen, South Dakota; 
(f) From Seattle, Wa hington, to Victoria, B. C., via Port Angeles, Wash- 
ington; 
(g) From Seattle, Wa hington, to Honolulu, Hawaii; 
(h) From 1:inneapolis-St. Paul, 1innesota, to Nome, Alaska, via Fargo, 
North Dakota, and Fairbank , Ala ka, or in the alternative from Minneapoli - 
St. Paul, Minnesota, to ome, Ala ka, via Mc 1urray, Alberta, orman Wells, 
Nortlrn~ t T erritory, and Fort Yukon, Ala ka; 
(i) From Seattle,,, a hington, to Nome, Alaska, via Anchorage, Ala ka;

(m) From Seattle, Wa hington, to Manila, Philippine I lands, via Anchor- 
age, Ala ka, Kiska and Attu, Aleutian I lands, Tokyo, Japan, and Shanghai, 
China. 
A pre-hearing conference on our New York application has been set for 
D ecember 6, 1943, and we anticipate early action by the Civil Aeronautic Board 
on our other application involving domestic service only. Hearing on applica- 
tion involving foreign ervice will await further determination of policy by our 
government. Your company joined with 15 other don1estic airlines urging the 
adoption by our government of a policy which would allow privately owned 
American carrier to conduct international air tran port operations under the 
American sy tern of regulated competition. 
Air Mail Rates 
Asi hown in the accompanying financial reports, the Civil Aeronautic 
Board is con idering a reduction in our mail rates. A shmv cause order ha been 
i ued and a hearing held. Under the order it i po sible that our mail rate may 
be reduced to a low a .3 mill per pound mile a of farch 1, 1943, or any later date. 
Thi maximum reduction would reduce our mail revenue for the past :fi cal year 
by $294,209. The effect of the maximum reduction for the :fi cal year beginning 
July 1, 1943, cannot rea onably be e timated because it depend upon the 
volume of mail carried.
