OUR JET PLANS ARE UP IN THE AIR

Reorganization Of Maintenance At PAD Headquarters
A rather extensive reorganization of the Maintenance department at Pacific-Alaska Division headquarters has been announced. Although it became effective January 1st, some of the physical shifting of personnel is still going on.
The purpose of the change is to re-align the various functions of the department so that they may be accomplished more effectively—not only today, but also when the jets arrive.
The two principal changes concern Engineering and a new section, Quality Control.
Under the reorganization service engineering will be strengthened by placing engineers in the working area. Actually, there will be no change in the function of these engineers, but by being “on the job” their talents may be more readily called upon by the shop personnel performing the work.
The activities formerly under Inspection have been placed under the new Quality Control section. These activities have been broadened so that an even better job of quality control can be accomplished.
Dick Ortman, formerly superintendent of Maintenance Regulations, will head this new section. In simplified terms, he and his staff will be “auditors” to check on the technical and mechanical performance of the maintenance organization. A Service Analysis unit and liaison with the CAA will round out the functions of Quality Control.
The chief inspector will be Don Rosenberger, formerly supervisor in Service Analysis. Another promotion brought about by the change was won by Frank Allen, who moved up from foreman of the Electric Shop to become aircraft service overhaul chief.
The Flight Engineering section has been slightly re-organized.
There is now an assistant chief flight engineer for the B-377 and the DC-7C. These men will be responsible for training and technical liaison between ground maintenance and flight operations maintenance.
Maintenance officials, headed by department manager Jim Conner, worked out these changes after studying the maintenance organization of many different airlines. From their survey they have taken the best points from the organization of the various airlines.
Aggies, Blue Devils And Ducks Go Bowling On Clippers
Two football teams and one band flew to bowl game engagements on chartered Clippers. The Texas A & M team flew from College Station to Jacksonville for their Gator Bowl clash with Tennessee. The Duke Blue Devils flew from Durham to Miami for their game with Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl. And the University of Oregon band tooted from Eugene to Los Angeles to sound off while the Ducks battled Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. Unfortunately, all three of our customers lost.
Pan Am's First Jet Completes 7-Minute Flight
The first production model of the Boeing 707, slated for delivery to Pan American, completed its initial flight on December 20th. It thus became the first American commercial jet transport to take to the air.
Because of unfavorable weather for test flying pilot “Tex” Johnston flew directly from Renton Airport to Boeing Field—a seven minute hop.
The jet was equipped with combination sound suppressor-thrust reversers on all four engines.
The airplane had been structurally completed in late October. Since then it has been undergoing pre-flight tests.
The second 707 is nearing completion and will soon be moved out of the factory, wearing Pan Am markings. To date, 162 Boeing jet transports have been ordered by 14 airlines.
January 1958
Panair Club Membership Drive Next Month At SFO
The San Francisco Panair Club will open its 1958 membership drive next month.
Exact dates will be announced later.
The benefits that employees receive from the club are worth far more than the dollar membership fee: reduced rates for various entertainment features, participation in Thanksgiving and Christmas turkey and ham raffles, participation in sports events, dances, picnics and a host of other activities.
"Meet The Press" Will Belong Exclusively To Pan Am In 1958
Pan American has signed for full sponsorship of “Meet the Press” during 1958. Previously the company had sponsored the popular TV program on an alternate-week basis.
MONEY IN THE BANK MANIFOLD
Phil Sheridan, left, of San Francisco’s Engine Overhaul Shop got quite a Christmas present from the Suggestion Committee. He is shown receiving a check for $550 from Division Manager G. F. “Brick” Maxwell. His suggested change in the method of overhauling the bank manifold on the R-4360 engines earned him $500. He was awarded another $50 for his proposed method of heat insulation of the ground lead assembly on the same engines.
