Mail Schedules (e) Each air carrier shall, from time to time, file with the Author- ity and the Postmaster General a statement showing the points between which such air carrier is authorized to engage in air trans- portation, and all schedules, and all changes therein, of aircraft regularly operated by the carrier between such points, setting forth in respect of each such schedule the points served thereby and the time of arrival and departure at each such point. The Postmaster General may designate any such schedule for the transportation of mail between the points between which the air carrier is authorized by its certificate to transport mail, and may, by order, require the air carrier to establish additional schedules for the transportation of mail between such points. No change shall be made in any schedules designated or ordered to be established by the Postmaster General except upon ten days' notice thereof filed as herein provided. The Postmaster General may by order disapprove any such change or alter, amend, or modify any such schedule or change. No order of the Postmaster General under this subsection shall become effective until ten days after its issuance. Any person who would be aggrieved by any such order of the Postmaster General under this subsection may, before the expiration of such ten-day period, apply to the Authority, under such regulations as it may prescribe, for a review of such order.

The Authority shall give preference to proceedings under this subsection over all proceed- ings pending before it. No air carrier shall transport mail in accord- ance with any schedule other than a schedule designated or ordered to be established under this subsection for the transportation of mail. Maximum Mail Load (f) The Authority may fix the maximum mail load for any sched- ule or for any aircraft or any type of aircraft; but, in the event that mail in excess of the maximum load is tendered by the Postmaster General for transportation by any air carrier in accordance with any schedule designated or ordered to be established by the Post- master General under subsection (e) of this section for the transpor- tation of mail, such air carrier shall, to the extent such air carrier is reasonably able as determined by the Authority, furnish facilities sufficient to transport, and shall transport, such mail as nearly in accordance with such schedule as the Authority shall determine to be possible.
