13th YEAR PACIFIC-ALASKA DIVISION
Pan American World Airways
PACIFIC-ALASKA DIVISION
WLfPPPR
Read From California to Calcutta, From Alaska to Australia
16th YEAR PAA HAS FLOWN IN ALASKA
PUBLISHED BY THE EMPLOYES OF PAN AMERICAN WORLD AIRWAYS
May 12, 1948
Alaska Region Personnel ( e in Sales Contests
Cash Prizes Awarded in Sales And Non-Sales Departments
Since February 1, personnel in the Alaska Region have been participating in a sales contest which permits both sales and non-sales employees to compete on an equal basis. A cash prize is awarded to the member of the non-sales group who turns in the greatest number of sales tips which result in the sale of new business. The salesman who transforms the greatest number of sales tips into dollar values is likewise rewarded.
In February Dean Williams, Sales, and Jim Doolin, non-sales, turned on the power and kept all of the contest money in Juneau. Dean’s triumph was highlighted by the sale of 19 excursion fare tickets to the Whitehorse Ice Carnival.
Not to be outdone in the March contest, Mary Hodgman, non-sales in Ketchikan, turned in a hot tip on the carriage of the Ketchikan basketball team, which clinched the prize money for her in the non-sales division. Bill Ellis at Juneau copped the sales division award with a close win over Hank Lindholm of Ketchikan.
According to Sales and Reservations Superintendent J. A. Wagner in Seattle the contest, which terminates May 31, has increased sales, fostered a healthy competitive spirit among personnel, and has created a sales-consciousness for Clipper cargo and passengers in the Alaska Region.
Clipper Makes Unscheduled "Mercy" Landing at Palmyra
Credit Captain Ward Buckingham and the Clipper Celestial with saving a life recently. While flying the Canton Island-Honolulu leg of the trip out of Sydney, Captain Buckingham received a radio message to divert the flight to Palmyra Island, there to pick up a CAA communi-
C^ions man, G. W. Avery, who was \ a critical condition due to a fish bone being lodged in his throat behind a tonsil.
After landing in Honolulu Avery 1 s rushed to a hospital where a »ecialist performed an operation and removed the bone.
New Heavy Duty Mule Added To Base Automotive Equipment
A new “mule” has recently been acquired by the maintenance department for heavy duty hauling. Nicknamed “Big Bertha,” this mule weighs 12,000 pounds and has a cross-bar pull of 10,000 pounds.
Now Pity Our Poor Flite Crews Who Fly by These Forecasts of Charlatans
At approximately 1313 California daylight saving time on April 29th three members of Pan American’s meteorology department (one of them a fair wheel) were observed lounging around the cafeteria with no apparent purpose in life. First they would have a fifth cup of coffee; then they would ask to look at waffle irons at the Trading Post; then the junior man would be dispatched out onto the porch to check the progress of the rain storm that was deluging the area, but always would he return, chilled and soaked.
They were TRAPPED! For it seems that these three prognosticators of pending precipitation, Charley Steifelmeyer, Mo Orrett, and Bob MacMuIlen, had gone to lunch without their raincoats.
Another Stratocruiser Begins Flight Tests
Boeing Announces Plane Will Join Others in Test Program
The third Boeing Stratocruiser, luxurious new 56-to-80-passenger double-deck super transport, has made its first flight, the Boeing Air-, plane Company announced recently. It joined two of the double-deck transports already being used in certification tests for the Civil Aeronautics Authority prior to entering airline service.
With Boeing production test pilots Clayton Scott and Cranston Paschall at the controls, the third Stratocruiser remained aloft for one hour and 49 minutes on its checkout flight. It now will join its two sister ships in the extensive Boeing flight program. The new airplane’s specific assignment will be for CAA radio, fuel system, thermal anti-icing and functional reliability tests.
More than 286 hours to date have been flown with the first two test Stratocruisers. Almost 40 hours of this total have been flown in CAA tests covering preliminary proving of flying characteristics, landing and takeoff and performance.
The new Boeing Stratocruiser is designed for a normal cruising speed of 340 miles per hour and has a range of more than 4,000 miles. First airliner to feature double-deck construction, the Stratocruiser has a lower deck lounge connected to the upper deck by a circular staircase. The remainder of the lower deck is accessible through the lounge or a forward hatch, and accommodates more than 10,000 pounds of cargo or mail. Four 3500-horsepow-(Continued on Page 4)
WINS PROMOTION
Shown above is Jerry Wilburn, who has recently been upped to the position of Reservations Supervisor of the Los Angeles office. Jerry started with Pan Am in May of 1946 and up until now has been a shift foreman at the San Francisco downtown reservations office.
Don't Worry About a Flat— See the PanAm Fire Dept.
Information was recently forwarded to the suggestion committee regarding company equipment that is available to employees.
For instance, if you come roaring out of work all set to drive home and find a tire slightly deflated, there is an air outlet in front of the fire house that you can use.
This is just one service available. No doubt there are many more. If any employee knows of similar facilities available for employee use, please call or drop a note to the “Clipper.”
Meteorologists Return to States for Vacation and Duty
Several meteorologists have recently returned to San Francisco after completing foreign assignments. Guam poured three back for repatriation — John Boyer, Ed Carr, and Jim Moscrip. From Shanghai came Jim Byrd and his wife.
Only recent departure from San Francisco has been that of Bill Wolfe, who went to Guam.
On a single non-stop flight from New York to London, a Pan American Clipper uses enough gas to carry you, in your Buick, on nine transcontinental round trips—New York to San Francisco—with a round trip from New York to Brownsville thrown in.
Keep Our Boys and Girls Off the Streets! Bring in All Old Books, Magazines
Got any old magazines or books? Don’t throw them away. The boys overseas would like to have them. They’ll take anything from “Forever Amber” to Leo Durocher’s autobiography. Since there are women at many of our stations, we need the strictly female stuff, too, such as the “Ladies Home Journal” and others. Even comic books have a high popularity rating; so bring them along.
All donations will be shipped out via company express to our line stations, where there is a dire need for reading material. Anything you have can be turned in to either Spec Winchester or Jerry Reiff in room 123 in the administration building or to Ed Boudinot, utility shop foreman.
Pan Am and Matson Sign Air-Sea Travel Pact
New Agreement Provides for Joint Use of Facilities
Pan American and the Matson Navigation Company recently announced the signing of an interline agreement to promote combined air-sea travel between points served by the Matson Line and those served by Pan American.
Under the agreement signed by Sidney G. Walton, vice president of Matson ,and Willis G. Lipscomb, vice president, traffic and sales for PAA, the sales and ticket facilities of each company will be at the disposal of the other. It is believed that this agreement will be of particular benefit in promoting air-sea travel between the mainland and Hawaii and between the United States and Australia and New Zealand.
Sea travel is not restricted to the Pacific area but sales may be made by any Matson office or agent to any point served by Pan American or vice versa. The agreement stated the combination sea-air tickets can be purchased at any of the airways or steamship lines offices and from authorized travel agents. Unaccompanied baggage can also be shipped by sea at surface rates.
Matson operates the luxury liner, SS Lurline between San Francisco and Honolulu and Los Angeles, as well as a service to Sydney, Australia, with plans to be announced for expansion of Pacific service.
In a single climb from takeoff to flight altitude a Pan American Clipper burns the equivalent of a year’s supply of gas in your automobile tank, if you drive an average of 200 miles every week.
