The last time was in 1958, when CAB bailed out Capital by giving the line access to the lucrative Florida market, with a run from Buffalo. Cleveland, Pittsburgh, to Jacksonville and beyond. Object of the move: to keep Capital off subsidy for all time. Yet the line could not make the long-haul run pay off.
