New airline companies were formed, and they could fly where they wished and set fares the same way, without Civil Aeronautics Board approval.

Congress created a regulatory system called the Civil Aeronautics Act, run by the Civil Aeronautics Board, which was a federal government agency.

The Civil Aeronautics Board, the regulator, allocated routes to different airlines.

Those words come from a memo he wrote to his staff at the Civil Aeronautics Board in 1977.

“I know lots of people who went to work for the government and found they were bored. I never had that experience,” she told Forbes in 1983, reflecting on her time on the Civil Aeronautics Board.
