19th YEAR PACIFIC-ALASKA DIVISION
Par Alìlrlca/v World Airways
Read From California to Calcutta, From Alaska To Australasia
22nd YEAR PAA HAS FLOWN IN ALASKA
Vol. 10 No. 3 PUBLISHED BY THE EMPLOYEES OF PAN AMERICAN WORLD AIRWAYS February 4, 1954
THIS IS NUMBER ONE AND THE FUN HAS JUST BEGUN
Executive Vice President C. M. Young is pictured going hunting for a buck as San Francisco Panair Club Prexy Don McCann waits to sell him the club’s first membership card in 1954. Employees have until February 16th to invest a dollar for a year of fun. See the story elsewhere in this issue for details on San Francisco’s “Dollar Days.”
Tourist Service Will Extend Around the World
April 1st Set as Target Date For Pacific Tourist Flights
April 1st may be April Fool’s Day to some, but it’s no joke that on that date Pan American will culminate years of effort by offering travelers low-cost tourist fares completely around the world.
This new service is subject to approval by the governments concerned, but applications have been filed with all interested agencies by the International Air Transport Association, regulatory body for the scheduled international air carriers. Final action on these applications is expected by the middle of this month.
Pan American’s Atlantic Division already operates tourist flights to Calcutta. The new applications will permit extension of this network to the West Coast. Here are a few examples of the low-cost tourist fares that will be inaugurated in the Pacific. All fares quoted are one-way:
San Francisco-Tokyo, $488.
San F r an c i s c o-Manila/Hong Kong, $550.
Honolulu-Sydney, $436.
Employees with an urge to see the world can compute their vacation travel costs by taking 15 per cent of the above fares.
Similar low fares, averaging about 25 per cent less than first-class, will wo into effect to all Pacific points served by PAA.
Meals will be free with tourist tickets, although not as elaborate as those served to President passengers. Baggage allowance will be 44 pounds, compared with 66 pounds allowed President passengers.
Tourist service in the Pacific is expected to attract the same influx of vacation travelers that it did in the Atlantic following PAA’s pioneering of low-cost fares in that region in 1952.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
The PAD celebrated its tenth birthday last Monday. It was on February 1, 1944 that Pan American’s Trans-Pacific Division and Alaska Division were consolidated into one unit—the Pacific-Alaska Division.
CAB Okays Two New Points to Be Served by PAA Cargo Flites
The CAB has granted Pan American a six-month exemption to serve Westover Field, Massachusetts, and Burtonwood, England, as intermediate points on scheduled trans-Atlantic all-cargo flights. The exemption is limited to PAA’s transportation of USAF property.
Steady Flow of Tip-Top Checks Boosts PAD Hopes
Division Enjoys Best 2-Week Period Since Contest Started
The past two week period was a good one for the PAD, Tip-Top-ically speaking. More employees (22) earned more points (58,525) than in any other similar period.
Big winners ceased to be a rarity as five employees got checks in excess of 5,000 points. Heading the list was Mary Harper of Service in San Francisco with 6,682 points.
Right behind her came Hattie Bennet of Seattle Supply with 6,381 points, SFO Traffic’s Curt Hax-thausen with 6,380 points, Robin Kinkead of Pubrel in SFO with 5,400 points and Assistant Division Maintenance Manager John Boyle with 5,200 points.
Others who will have to decide what prizes they want are Seattle Captain Tom Page, 4,498 points, Bob Griffin of SEA Flight Service, 3,629 points, Seattle co.-pilot Herman Hamel, 3,629 points, Ed Holmes of SFO Traffic with 2,380 points, Clifford Fo of SFO Engine Overhaul and Everitt Gamble of SEA Operations, 1,800 points, Les Wollner of LAX Cargo, 1,744 points, Bill Williams of SFO Communications, 1,700 points, Marguerite Wilhite of SFO Communications, 986 points, Kathleen Hitchcock, SFO Accounting, SEA Mechanic Bill Nance, SFO Stewardess Norma Jean Gaskill and SFO Steward Bryce Dewey—all with 900 points, Ramon Flores of the SFO Electric Shop, 622 points, Maurice Hattem of LAX Traffic, 588 points, and Rosalie Slocum, SEA Stewardess, with 331 points.
Pan American has been awarded a trophy by the Greater Miami Hotel Association in recognition of pioneering the city’s tourist industry.
Let Tip-Top be your Valentine.
