"Is This Any Way to Start an Airline?" You bet it is! An article carrying this title recently appeared in the Los Angeles Tunes featuring Air California, a commuter airline in California. One year ago Air California began shuttling between population booming Orange County and San Francisco. This is a young airline started by five young men - three of them in their 20's. The idea was originally conceived by Bill Myers, one of the older of the five, who, after some basic research, felt that the San Francisco-Orange County air corridor was a rich vein of airline gold ready for mining. Bill was right as the airline now has about nine flights daily. He says, "The odds are really against anyone starting an airline. Do you know how many airlines have been started in California since World War II? Forty. And do you know how many have failed? Forty." Air California, therefore, has done well, so well in fact that last June, Bill left the organization to put together another commuter airline in California - Cable Commuter Airlines - which started operations last October. As of December 1, Cable was flying six round trips daily from Los Angeles International to Palmdale, two round trips per day to Inyokern, and on- the-hour service between Ontario and Los Angeles International Airports. Bill and his wife, Shelby, have two boys, two girls and live in Claremont, Calif., and if you want to start an airline, just drop him a line.
