a unit of work because the flights were for one thousand miles, and as the formula says, a unit of work will be for one thousand miles or sight hours, whichever is reached first.

     The pay for this unit of work [[underlined, quotes]] is a matter of contractual negotiations, as provided for in our present system of negotiating contracts with the different air lines. The this DC-3, if we use a rate of $4.60 per hour for all day flying, we will have a [[strikethrough]] rate [[/strikethrough]] FIGURE of $29.13 plus gross weight pay plus mileage pay as provided for in the different company contracts. Night pay would be 50% more or $43.69. The 200 mile an hour airplane should probably be composed of 15 or 16 units, and the 250 mile per hour airplane should be composed of 16 or 17 units. The actual number of units for 200 mile per hour airplane and the 250 mile per hour airplane should be determined through experience. 

     In conclusion, it is hoped that this formula will take care of the four conditions as set forth in the beginning of this treatise, namely: 

(1) It is intended to take care of all on-duty time.
(2) It is intended to take care of flight time in faster, heavier, more productive equipment.
(3) It is intended to take into consideration technological advances of air line equipment.
(4) It is intended to take care of technological unemployment, and will provide us with a more equitable set of working conditions to take care of heavier, faster, and more productive equipment.
