- Description:
- (file edited) Borman announces the creation of four daily trans-continental flights between New York and Los Angeles, as well as a new model of "Cabin 1/Cabin 2" fare pricing. First class fare on a transcontinental flight on other airlines is $421 compared to "Cabin 1" fare, which is $390. This pricing model is predicted to last until at least 1980. Borman predicts that there is only room for 4 airlines to make a profit in transcontinental flights. He answers questions about Eastern Airlines' ticketing model and speculates that in a deregulated environment half of American domestic airlines will be defunct by 1980.
