VOL. 9 —No. 1 JANUARY 1952 52122 New Records Set in LAD and System During ’51 ★ ★★★★ ★★★★★ ★★★★★ 'Management Training' Program Opens for LADers at Miami <3> Eight Men Selected For 'Class’ Program Will Run For Two-and-a-Half Years An intensive two-and-a-half year “Rotation Training Program,” designed to provide top-flight managerial personnel for LAD in the years to come, has been launched in Miami, with eight hand-picked employes as the first trainees. The program—most elaborate and comprehensive ever undertaken in LAD to develop management talent—was worked out by a committee of Division Executives with the aim of giving the trainees a full, well-rounded understanding of all division operations. “When the men selected for this training, complete the program, they will be qualified to take any assignment in LAD, up to the department head level,” said Wilbur L. Morrison, PAA Vice President in charge of LAD. “I am sure this program will be of definite benefit to Pan American, as well as to the individuals selected to take part in it.” Under the program, trainees will spend from two to 26 weeks on an actual working assignment in each Department of the Division. Thus they will know all the ramifications of each operation and its interlocking relationship with other departments. In addition, each man is being given intensive language training, and is required to qualify in at least one of those used in Latin America. Selection of the first eight trainees was made by the Executive Committee which worked out the details of the training program. On the committee áre Edwin Drescher, Division Accountant; Porter Norris, LAD Traffic and Sales Manager; Richard S. Mitchell, LAD Ground Operations Manager, and A. J. Lea Hume, LAD Industrial Relations Manager. “Naturally,., the., committee found it impossible to single out the eight BEST men in LAD,” said Hume. “So we concentrated on those men who have been with the company long enough to demonstrate management potentialities through their qualities of leadership, high moral character, initiative, reliability, technical proficiency in their own line of work, and other exacting qualities necessary to management men.” The men selected ai'e: Edwin B. Weissinger, Personnel Superintendent handling flight and management groups; Thomas J. Townsend, LAD Flight Operations Controller; Findley B. Howard, Station Manager at Maiquetia, Venezuela; Julio W.

Kingston, with 187 per cent of<S>~ quota, led Group Two stations and Curacao, with 174 per cent of quota, was tops in Group Three, to round out the list of first place winners. With stations competing for a “bag full of prizes,” final results of the contest showed that LAD competing stations went 14 per cent over the quota set for the two-months’ drive. Some of the oustanding results of the campaign were that all stations competing in Group One exceeded their quota from Port of Spain’s high of 33.59 per cent, to Buenos Aires’ nearly seven per cent. In addition, five of the seven stations in Group Two also exceeded their quotas; eight of nine stations in Group Three, and four of nine in Group Four.
