[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by SteamerFan</i> <br /><br />Noting that most Early Airline execs were former railroad execs, It is totally plausible that they would do what they know to work. hence, since no one had hammered out the details of airtravel yet, the execs would probably have stuck to the old railroad formula that worked for railroads and applied it to airlines. As the airlines evolved and it became apparent Timetables and multiple stops were ineeficiant, they soon changed to the system we havein place now (which btw is really a timetable system as well, but adapted to eb more efficiant for airlines) <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />It is an interesting analogy, and one that makes me think that if former airline execs took over the managements of the railroads, we might begin to see more of a hub and spoke system on the rails.
