>      The terminal is neat and clean, the attendants courteous, the pilots

>      The terminal is almost empty - only a few prospective passengers mill 
>      about.  The announcer says that a flight has just departed, although 
>      no planes appear to be on the runway.  Airline personnel apologize 
>      profusely to customers in hushed voices, pointing from time to time to 
>      the sleek, powerful jets outside.  They tell each passenger how great 
>      the flight will be on these new jets and how much safer it will be 
>      than Windows Airlines, but they will have to wait a little longer for 
>      the technicians to finish the flight systems.  Maybe until mid-1995.  
>      Maybe longer.
