A flight mechanic (often carried on airplanes, and sometime with a co-pilot's license) earns at least $140 per month in the U.S.; an airline shop or overhaul mechanic, about $64 per month.

     The average passenger air fare in the United States in 1929 was 12 cents per mile; by 1934 it is 6 cents per mile.
