Earlier this year the cab objected to the � category y travel in which the defense department moves passengers on scheduled commercial flights at reduced rates for the same seats the general Public buys. The official said since then the carriers have submitted new tariffs to meet the Board s requirements and have Given the Board some assurances that Commer Cial paying passengers would not be turned away in favor of category y passengers. Primarily we be gotten what we asked for and the carriers have overcome Previ Ous deficiencies the official said. The cab official said As Long As carriers meet the specifications of the new tariffs category y flights will continue. Under the concept International carriers can move Dod personnel and their dependents on scheduled flights rather than by charter. He said category y benefits the airline by allowing it to fill More seats on a regularly scheduled flight thus making it More profitable and at the same time is convenient for the defense department traveler. In fiscal year 1977, an estimated 121,000 defense department travellers flew in category y status according to the official. He said the category y arrange ment is most economical for the govern ment with the rate being about 3.7 cents per seat mile on a round trip basis. One defense department official said the Pentagon contracts with the airlines for full Load charter service. The airlines then convert the total number of seats contracted for into blocks of seats on their regularly scheduled commercial flights.
