Pan Am, BRC Ink Pact to End Strikes
Agreement Signed In Interests of National Security
Pan American World Airways and the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks (BRC), representing more than 5,000 of the airline’s employees have signed an agreement providing for final and binding arbitration in any dispute when the machinery of the Railway Labor Act has been exhausted.
The agreement, together with grievance procedures provided in present contracts, will eliminate the possibility of a strike over any issue between the parties and is the third such agreement made between Pan American and unions representing its employees.
No Strike Pledges
The Flight Engineers International Association and the United Plant Guard Workers of America had previously made no strike pledges.
The brotherhood membership has recently ratified an agreement with Pan American covering wages, hours and work rules effective until January 1, 1965.
Pan American and the unions made the agreements in response to requests from the Secretary of Labor and in the interests of preserving labor peace in the industry which is vital to national defense.
Board Decides Disputes
Provisions of the agreements call for a three-man board to be selected to decide disputes concerning rates of pay, rules or working conditions in cases where the processes of the Railway Labor Act have failed to result in a solution. One member of the board would be selected by the company, another by the union and provisions have been made for selection of a neutral member. The arbitration agreement, the company and the union said, provides a method for orderly and peaceful resolution of labor-management difficulties by common consent and voluntary agreement.
More airline and railroad employees are members of the BRC than any other union in the airline and railroad industries. The BRC represents 300,000 persons and is the 14th largest union in the United States.
New City Served Pan American
By
Conakry, capital of the West African republic of Guinea, will become the 101st city served by Pan American Airways jets when the airline inaugurates direct scheduled service from the United States on July 28.
Jet Clippers will fly to Conakry on a once-a-week schedule, leaving New York International Airport, Idlewild, on Sunday nights at 10, arriving in Guinea at 3:15 the following day.
Flights will be routed vi2 Lisbon and Rabat, Morocco, and continue on to Monrovia. Return flights originate in Monrovia, leave Conakry at 10 on Tuesdays and arrive in New York at 8:25 that evening after stops at Rabat and Lisbon.
Cashiers Attend Training Course
Employes from eight Latin American Division stations attended a course for cashiers conducted at the Miami Sales and Service School, the end of June. John J. Henry, manager, methods and oro-cedures, General Accounting Office, New York City, was the instructor.
Those attending were: Frank Dent, San Jose; Ivy M. Chee, Nassau; Rosalia Couto, San Juan; Ivonne Veronica Lyew, Kingston; Lucy Alkins, Port of Spain; Eldo Iza. Montevideo; Miguel Omar Salvatierra, Buenos Aires: Avelino Domingues Garcia and Roque Ro-tuhdo Ribeiro, both of Rio de Janeiro.
Airline’s LAD Flight Attendants Converse With Passengers in a Dozen Languages
Back in biblical days, a band of sinners sought easy access to heaven by building the Tower of Babel in the Shinar Valley.
But a displeased God “confused their tongues” and they were stymied by language difficulties.
Today, languages may not get you through the pearly gates, but they have helped hundreds of young men and women reach greater heights than ever dreamed by the ancients.
In the airline’s Latin American Division alone, nearly 450 pursers, stewards and stewardesses representing 23 different nationalities, converse with passengers in more than a dozen tongues. There is even one girl who is an expert in dactyology — the sign language used by deaf-mutes.
Recruited Around World
Pan Am is continually training new flight attendants, recruited all over the world. Presently flying the airline’s Latin American routes are 178 men and 251 young ladies.
Each speaks a minimum of two languages — English, plus either Spanish or Portuguese. But there are a few flight attendants who operate in as many as seven tongues.
Countries of the Western Hemisphere are well represented Fifteen of the 21 nations have contributed at least one son or daughter to the airline’s elite flight service group, not counting foreign-born flight attendants who have become US citizens.
Many European Girls
Most numerous contingent from outside the US is Argentine, with 13 members. Next comes Brazil and Cuba with 12 each.
The roster also includes Mexicans, Peruvians, Panamanians, Ecu-doreans, Hondurans, Salvadoreans, Cocta Ricans, Guatemalans, Nicaraguans, Columbians and Bolivians.
Three of Pan Am’s stewardesses carry Canadian passports and 23 are citizens of various European countries.
Largest single group of Europeans comes from Germany, while the most accomplished linguists

STEWARDESSES FROM 23 NATIONS FLY LAD ROUTES
are from Scandinavian countries. The ten Scandinavian girls who fly Pan Am’s Latin American routes speak four languages each and two of them are fluent in seven.
Most pursers are US citizens, though a few are originally from other countries.
Thirty US states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico are
represented on the Latin American flight service roster.
Pan Am’s Latin American Division receives about 1,500 applications a year, interviews about 500 girls and winds up training about 100 in its University of the Air at Miami.

Project of LAD Engineer
Jet Engine Overhaul Costs Cut by In-Flight Checking
Flight engineers aboard Pan Am’s Boeing 707-121 and DC-8 Clippers are watching the physical condition of Pratt and Whitney power plants while the big jets are in flight by giving them checkups every 50 hours of operation.
These airborne run-ups enable flight engineers to detect engine
problems before they cause flight delays or premature engine removals.
Engine History Recorded
The medical history of each engine begins when it is born—or reborn in a jet engine overhaul shop.
Four key factors are recorded as the engine goes through its paces in the test cell—exhaust gas temperature (EGT); Fuel Flow; Ni compressor speed; and N2 compressor speed.
These readings are recorded on an in-flight analysis form which accompanies the engine whenever it flies. At 50 hour intervals the flight engineer records in-flight readings on all four factors in the engine analysis log.
Changes Noted
Significant changes in performance data from one check-up to the next are noted. The engine’s ailment, if any, is diagnosed and can be corrected before it becomes serious.
The additional information obtained through the in-flight analyses helps maintenance personnel pinpoint the cause of malfunctions and take corrective action more rapidly.

Australian Society Honors Pan American
Honored in many parts of the world for its efforts on behalf of the physically handicapped, Pan American received its latest citation from the Poliomyelitis and Physically Handicapped Society of Australia.
Dr. Roger de Bryon-Faes, Administrator of the Society, called Pan American “unique in the field of commerce” in presenting a certificate of gratitude to the airline.
“Pan American has continually demonstrated its concern for those who are physically handicapped,” he stated.
Pan Am, National To Exchange Stock
Pan American and National Airlines have announced that an agreement has been reached to exchange capital stock of each company held by the other.
The exchange involves 353,600 shares of Pan Am stock held by National and 390,000 shares of National stock held by Pan American. After the exchange, Pan American will still hold 27,588 shares of National’s stock.
Paraguay Ends Visa Demand
Paraguay officials have notified Pan American that U. S. Citizens no longer will be required to have a visa for a visit to this interesting inland country in South America, hemmed in on all sides by Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia.
For several years Pan American has been pressing for the visa exemption, as part of its continuing campaign to eliminate “red tape” for pleasure and business travelers.
Under the new decree, U. S. citizens will now need only a valid passport to enter the country and for a stay as long as three months. Visas will be required, however, for those who expect to remain more than 90 days. Also required is a certificate of smallpox vaccination.
New Ticket Office In Pan Am Building
A new ticket and sales office, introducing radically advanced concepts of design and passenger service, has been opened by Pan American at Vanderbilt Avenue and 45th Street.
Occupying 10,000 square feet of street-level space in the new Pan Am Building, the ticket office is believed to be the largest airline ticket and sales office in the world.
Ticketing innovations at the new Pan Am Building result from an extensive study of passenger needs and traffic flow. They also incorporate techniques developed by Pan Am at its offices around the world.
New Service At Low Rate Is Scheduled
Thrift Class Offered For Europe9 Hawaii Trippe Announces
A new class of service, pioneered in Puerto Rico, for air travel to Europe and Hawaii has been announced by Juan T. Trippe, president of Pan American.
The proposed new Thrift class service, approved by Pan American’s board of directors, would provide a one-way transatlantic fare of $160, reducing the basic New York-London one-way Economy fare by $103, or 39 percent. Thrift class service would be provided between California gateways and Hawaii at a one-way fare of $100 as compared with the Economy class fare of $133.
Introduction of overocean Thrift class service to Europe and to Hawaii marks an extension by Pan American of the Thrift class service which it has operated for seven years, in addition to Economy and First class service, on its overseas routes to Puerto Rico.
Passengers Increase
Thrift class passengers carried on the Puerto Rico routes have increased year after year. The volume in 1962 considerably exceeded Economy and First class passengers, both of which, however, increased over the same period.
The new Thrift class service to Hawaii would be introduced by Pan American on November 1, 1963, on a daily basis from each of the California gateways, subject only to approval by the United States Government, acting through the Civil Aeronautics Board. The concurrence of no other government is required.
The new transatlantic Thrift class service would be started by Pan American five months later, in April, 1964. Since this is an international route, the concurrence of other interested carriers and approval by their respective governments is required.
Give Airlines Time
“Our plans for this new transatlantic service are being announced at this time”, Trippe stated, “to give all other airlines concerned ample time for study before the meeting some months hence at which future transatlantic fares to become effective next April will be considered and recommended by the airlines to their respective governments for approval”.
Pan American’s plans for this new transatlantic Thrift class service call for daily nonstop schedules over the heaviest routes linking New York with London, Paris, Frankfurt and Rome, respectively. Daily First class and Economy class service would continue to be available on these routes as at present.
“Thrift class service will bring a transatlantic air journey within the CONTINUED ON PAGE 2
Passenger, Cargo Sales Increase
Passenger and cargo sales during the first four months of 1963 climbed 10.3 per cent ahead of the same period for the previous year, with the year’s heaviest travel seasons yet to come.
A rise in business and pleasure travel during the four month period was indicated in every component of the Company. U.S. sales offices reflected substantial increases in passenger sales for travelers destined to Latin America, Europe and the Far East.
Sales in Latin American Division showed firm increases, with passenger sales ahead by more than 11 per cent and cargo sales up by some 27 per cent. Cargo sales in Overseas Division showed an increase of 16.2 per cent. North Atlantic travel continued to be the area of greatest expansion.
