“Heads Up "
Safety Program Gets New Stress
A new, hard-hitting Safety Program affecting all Division employees working with or around aircraft or motorized equipment is being set up by the Atlantic Division Safety Committee.
Under the direction of new chairman John Baldini, Asst, to the Maintenance Supt., the Committee plans a many-faceted
attack including intensive
review of all aircraft and ground accidents; periodic strict reexamination of all license holders; application of a battery of vision, perception, and reaction tests; and an accelerated program of heightening safety consciousness through slogans, signs, clubs, and special promotions.
Already Started
Portions of the new program are already in effect. The intensified accident review program, for instance, is already in action at IDL. Either IDL Station Operations Mgr. Don Marshall or Committee Chairman John Baldini is now called as soon as possible following any accident at IDL. Immediate hearings are held if necessary to determine the cause and establish possible future preventive measures.
In addition to his attention-getting “Mystery Man” contest (see accompanying story at right), Station Operations Mgr. Marshall has also established an IDL Station Safety Club. Begun on June 1, membership in this club can be obtained in only one way—working for one year without a personal or equipment accident. Careful members of IDL Fleet Service will be rewarded next year with a bang-up dinner, entertainment,, membership pins, etc.
More Examinations
All employees licensed to operate either aircraft or motorized vehicles will be given periodic re-examinations that Chairman Baldini guarantees will be more strict than those required by government regulations. He quotes, as an example, the eye test that will be given drivers every two years, although their government licenses are good indefinitely.
Plans are being drawn up for administering the Porto Clinic Test Unit. This is a series of tests designed by Travelers Insurance Co. to measure visual acuity, color perception, depth perception, reaction time, and field of vision.
The Committee is also planning to put new emphasis on promoting safety consciousness through safety slogans, signs, guide lines, and markers.
“This program is only as good as its participants make it,” points out Baldini, who asks that each individual employee (Continued on Page 2)
Who's That Dunce? It's A Mystery
You’re a fleet service man at IDL. What do you do when one of your buddies comes up to you and says “Are you the Mystery Man?”. Do you ask him if he’s flipped his wig? Or punch him in the snoot? No . . . you’d probably step back guiltily and say, “What am I doing wrong?”
This has been the reaction around the IDL station since SOM Don Marshall started his “Mystery Man” safety contest the first of last month. Each week a new “Mystery Man” is secretly picked on each shift with instructions to perform a specific potentially unsafe act several times a day. To identify him, one of his co-workers must catch him in the act, ask him if he is the “Mystery Man”, and specify the unsafe act committed.
In the course of the six-week contest, every “MM” has been caught except one, whose identity had leaked out but couldn’t be caught because nobody could figure out what he was doing wrong. Seems he was ordinarily so safety-conscious that his fel-(Continued on Page 8)
Seven important executive changes involving Atlantic Division personnel at LIC, System, IDL, and the Afghanistan TAP program were announced last month.
Jesse L. Boynton, former Assistant to the Division Traffic and Sales Mgr. has been appointed Regional Director—Middle East and Asia Region. He replaces R. J. Forhan,
who has accepted the position of Vice President and General Mgr. of Aryana Airlines, Afghanistan, in which Pan American retains a financial interest and is presently conducting a technical assistance program.
Five executives are involved in a complex switch between the traffic and service departments. Division Traffic Mgr. Lloyd M. Wilson has been appointed Service Mgr. of the Division, replacing Kenneth Parratt, who has been promoted to the position of System Director—Passenger Service, Lawrence E. Burtchaell, former Assistant Division Traffic Mgr., replaces Mr. Wilson as Traffic Mgr.
Reversing the inter-departmental flow, former Commissary Supt. Frank McLaughlin has been appointed IDL Station Traffic Mgr. He replaces Frank Murphy, who joins Mr. Forhan at Aryana Airlines as Traffic Manager,
Mr. Forhan joined American Overseas Airlines in September, 1946, as an assistant executive of operations. Following his appointment as assistant to the Vice President and General Mgr. in 1949, he was made assistant to the Vice President of the Atlantic Division when the merger with PAA took place in 1950. Following service in the System office as assistant to Vice President Balluder in 1951, he was made Regional Director (Continued on Page 2)
IT’S JUNE, THE MONTH OF BRIDES, and recently married Stewardess Pauline Foreman (she’s now Mrs. Steve Dukkony) demonstrates the proper way to toss a bridal bouquet. An English girl, Pauline will continue the Pan Am flying career which brought her romance and marriage to an American army officer. Among the Pan Am well-wishers looking on are Jeanette Seery, Rosalind Van Steene, Pat Handel, Llona Sears and Rosemary Gray-Edwards.
PICNIC
The AD Pan Am Club Picnic will be held Saturday, June 29, at Bethpage State Park (Long Island) Picnic Grounds. All Pan Am Club members and their families are invited. Free beer, milk, soda, hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches and ice cream will be served.
HAROLD E. GRAY, AD Executive Vice President, presents a check for $7,126.27 to Edward Dyas, section director, Greater New York Fund, on behalf of the Pan Am employees, both Division and System, in the New York area. This amount, added to $1,634.86 previously sent, made a total of $8,761.13 contributed by Pan Am employees this year, as compared with the 1956 figure of $7,074.81. The company itself added a $3,500 contribution, putting the total donation above the $12,000 mark.
It’s Turkish Hospita lity, But Tough on Family Life
You’d be surprised how many letters Pan Am gets from people who have been given service “above and beyond the call of duty” by Pan Am’ers around the world. There are so many letters of praise, as a matter of fact, that we can’t
print them all in the Clipper,
much as we’d like to.
Of course every such letter goes into the personnel records. But we prefer to think that most “outstanding” services are performed just because the Pan Am’er concerned wants to do the best job possible.
Here’s an example of what we mean, although we wouldn’t claim that this is exactly typical. It’s a letter from Dr. Anton Grzywienski of the Vienna Institute of Technology. He had the misfortune of being stranded in Ankara for 40 hours because of fog. But he had the good fortune to find PAA Traffic Rep Bilgihan Ozture on duty. Here’s his letter:
“With these lines I am not writing you a complaint about a bad experience with the Pan American Airways, but on the contrary it is praise that I am sending—praise of a member of your staff.
At midnight on Feb. 7/8th, my wife and I should have flown from Ankara to Karachi but the airport of Istanbul was closed because of fog, so that the airplane could not start. At about 2:30 in the morning, as there
were no prospects of flying for the next few hours, your officials tried to get a room for us in a hotel in Ankara but it was quite impossible at that time. Mr. Bilgihan Ozture, the traffic representative of the P.A.A. in Ankara, then rang up his wife and requested her to leave their home and go with her child to her mother’s home so that the bedroom could be at our disposal. Mr. Bilgihan Ozture him-himself used another room. In the morning he made a fire for us, prepared a good breakfast and then went to the office.
You can imagine what this all meant to us.”
Well, we certainly can. It meant Mr. Ozture had made a firm friend and booster for Pan Am.
