THE BIGGEST "THANK YOU" EVER
Division Gives Seven Employees All-Expense Polar Route Trips With Three More Winners Yet To Come
Four Round-Trips Weekly Listed In Polar Schedules
The fastest service between the West Coast and Europe will be inaugurated next Tuesday when Pan American commences operations over its recently authorized Polar Route.
Four weekly round-trips will be offered with DC-7C equipment.
Three of the four eastbound flights will originate in San Francisco, departing at 8:00 a.m. Pacific standard time on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. (The inaugural flight on Tuesday was moved up to that day in order to start service as soon as allowed by the CAB.)
The Monday departure will go to London by way of Seattle. The Wednesday and Friday flights both land at Los Angeles, with the Friday trip going to Paris.
Every Saturday a flight will originate in Los Angeles, departing there at 10:30 in the morning. After a landing at San Francisco, the plane will fly to London.
This schedule will provide San Francisco passengers a choice of four flights, those in Los Angeles three flights, and those in Seattle one flight weekly. Later this year it is planned to include Portland on the Polar Route schedules.
Westbound flights will follow this same pattern in reverse.
All flights in both directions will land at Frobisher for refueling. All will offer combination service— tourist or sleeperette seats. Due to an IATA agreement there will be a $50 surcharge for sleeperette seats.
Here are the block-to-block (Continued on Page 16)
As seven Pacific-Alaska Division employees were busy packing their bags for a free, all-expense vacation in London that they won in a drawing last month it was announced that three more employees would be awarded similar trips, compliments of the division.
These three winners — one each month during October, November and December—will be allowed to take with them one dependent and to select either London or Paris as their destination.
Hotel rooms, meal allowance and free tours will be included
vith the free nosub first-class transportation.
Complete contest rules and an entry blank are on page 16 of this issue.
These free trips like the seven already awarded, are being given by the division in appreciation of the extra effort exerted by all departments in enabling the division to inaugurate service over the Polar Route on the September 10th—the earliest date possible under the certificate and well ahead of TWA, who was also granted authority to (Continued on Page 8)
Division Adjusts Expenditures Due To Cost Rale Rise
It has recently become necessary for the Pacific-Alaska Division to adjust its expenditures in an effort to diminish the rate of increase in its operating costs.
One way that this is being done is by reducing inventory levels. Such a practice makes cash available to the division, instead of having the money spent on materials for future use.
In some cases a reduction of personnel quotas has been necessary. The division had previously increased its personnel in anticipation of business that now has failed to materialize.
No further personnel reductions are planned after September 30th. Addition of employees after that date will depend upon the volume of business and the acquisition of any new routes.
Many employees might ask:
“Is it not true that the divisioni is taking in more revenue than it did last year? And isn't the division showing a profit?”
The answer to both questions is “yes.”
But an examination of the income statement on page 5 shows one fact, clearly and simply. Looking under the “change” column, you will see that the division’s total operating revenues for the first six months of this year were $5,346,000 more than for the same period last year.
But now look at the figure di-retly beneath it — operating expenses. They were $7,188,000 more for the first half of 1957 than they were last year.
