Some airlines call them restricted tickets, and this may be closer to the truth.

When it guesses incorrectly, the airline calls for volunteers to take a later flight.

In less than twenty minutes the airline would call his plane.

Why would the airline be calling me about that?

The airline did not say the move was in retribution for the article but called it a needed trimming of its ad budget.

The airlines have called for new steps, too, mostly to be taken by the Government.

These cancellations took place even though the airline had called on 177 crew members to fly who were not scheduled.

Normally, he said, the airline might call on 15 to 20 people a day or up to 60 over a three-day period.

When I asked the agent if the airline would have called to tell me about the delay, he said, "At this hour, probably not."
