I have written a considerably expanded version of this article which gives an account of non-scheduled airlines as a historical phenomenon significant to the development of modern commercial aviation. As this is a major revision to an existing page and likely contains flaws, I'm inviting other editors to preview the page at User:Recensore256/Non-scheduled airlines for feedback prior to uploading. If no immediately prohibitive problems become apparent, I'll commit the edit soon in full anticipation of further changes. Thanks, Recensore256 (talk) 19:50, 29 August 2018 (UTC).Reply

The new draft is an improvement. In reading it over mostly it needs a language clean-up to remove jargon and use more encyclopedic language. - Ahunt (talk) 20:28, 29 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Although it really only discusses the United States it would be better as History of American Non-Scheduled Airlines. MilborneOne (talk) 08:02, 30 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
I would support that idea, too. Seems like a better title for the content. - Ahunt (talk) 13:00, 30 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
As far as I know, non-scheduled airlines were principally a United States phenomenon, at least in any significant capacity. The legal architecture which created them as a class distinct from charter airlines was unique to the U.S. It is probably worth digging around again to see if any sources mention non-scheduled carriers of other countries, but it's potentially misleading to create a new page under that title. Maybe an additional section for non-scheduled airlines of other nationalities would suffice? Recensore256 (talk) 19:38, 30 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Not sure why you think it is misleading as it describes exactly what you have written. MilborneOne (talk) 21:03, 30 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Because that implies there is a noteworthy history of non-scheduled airlines beyond the United States; I'm not sure this is the case, given that the name 'non-scheduled airline' and their legal classification arose in the U.S. from U.S. legislation. Basically, the history of non-scheduled airlines in the United States is the history of non-scheduled airlines, so far as I'm aware. Recensore256 (talk) 02:08, 31 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
