NOTES:  Data for flights showing zero taxi-out time were considered to be erroneous and were nont included in calculations for this table.  Data for Comair for 2004 was not included due to taxi-out time errors for which an appropriate correction could not be determined.  The number of departures shown are those for which taxi-out data is available.  These numbers do not represent all scheduled airline departures in the year shown.,,,,,,,,
