Pan American Womd Aírwavn ATLANTIC DIVISION fintimi £1/11/12l Read on f.our continents and four islands in between Volume 15 NOVEMBER, 1956 No. 10 Offer CAB New Miami Plan Atlantic Travel Cancelled Effective immediately all transatlantic employee discount travel, 90 and 50 percent, is cancelled. Any free travel is forbidden unless specifically approved by Messrs. Shannon, Mukerji or Gray. Travel agents discount travel will remain in effect but they are to be completely informed as to the situation in Europe and attempts are to be made to discourage their travel. These restrictions do not apply to Coemps returning to their home base or to their station of assignment regardless of the type of ticket they hold. THE FIRST part of Pan American’s jet, which will also be the nation’s first commercial jet aircraft, is laid down at the Boeing plant at Renton, Wash. Inspecting the first assembly for the plane, a body frame, are (L-R) Richard Adams, PAA Plant Representative; Russ Perkins, Boeing Transport Division General Superintendent and Kermit Roberts, Assistant Superintendent of Final Assembly. Delivery is being pushed for the late part of 1958. Mew York Kicks Off Yule Season With Toy Sale, Kid Party & Dance It is now just a few short weeks to Christmas and throughout the Division Coemps are starting to get ready for the holidays. In New York, for example, things are already rolling for the Division’s two biggest parties—One for the kids and one for the big kids. The first of these is the 14th annual Kiddie Party which will be held at the Jamaica Armory the afternoon of December 15th. The party as usual will be open to the children of all Company employees and, in addition, this year the Pan Am Club, co-sponsors of the party along with the Company, has invited 100 orphans from nearby homes. To take care of these orphans for the four hours that the party will run, 100 volunteers are needed. You can volunteer your services, (and what better time of the year than Christmas could there possibly be for such work?) by calling Miller Logan, Robert Stupp or Tony Loicono. They need you from 12 noon to 4 P.M. on Dec. 15. Won’t you call? By now you will have received an application from the Pan Am Club Committee. With this application will be a return envelope which you can use to return the application to the committee. These applications must be returned not later than the 16th of this month if you wish to bring your children to the party. It is needed in order that the committee may order the toys, food, refreshments and the like for the party. If you have not received your application by now contact Miss Pat Meisner on 314 at IDL. Remember, the date is Saturday, Dec. 15; the time: from Noon to 4 P.M. and the place: the 104th Field Artillery Battalion Armory, 93-05 168th St., Jamaica, N. Y. Before getting into the employees’ dance details we should note here that since the parties have been run in 1943 a total of 12,500 children have attended and have consumed 500 gallons of ice cream, 1,000 gallons of soda, 4,000 cookies and have lugged home 12,800 toys. The total cost of this operation, shared by the Company and the Pan Am Club has been $21,500. It is fitting here also to mention the fact that the annual Christmas toy sale gets underway very shortly. Profits from this sale help to support the Pan Am Club. Details of the sale are on Page 10. The Company dance for all AD employees will be held on the night of Dec. 21 at the Garden City Hotel. Here again the whole thing is free—paid for by the company and the Pan Am Club. To have a good time all you have to do is send back your (Cont. on page 2, col. 2) Plan Asks New Look At CAB Route Decision Pan American this month offered the CAB a new two-point program, available immediately, to break the winter air traffic jam along the East Coast of the U.S. and, at the same time, provide improved through service for international passengers. Chicago Shift Is Completed Without Hitch By Frank O’Toole On Oct. 7 Pan American moved lock, stock and blocks from Midway to O’Hare Field, Chicago’s new multi-million dollar airport of the future. We accomplished the move without a hitch and the first flight due out of ORD left on time. We are more than a little proud. Once here you cannot help but be enthusiastic about the field. New highways and rail links are in the works which will place the airport within 30 minutes of downtown Chicago. Helicopter service started Nov. 1 to the downtown area and is now operating at a fee $2 less than existing taxi prices. From the operational viewpoint ORD, when completed, will be the pilot’s dream. MDW, one of the country’s smallest major airports, is the busiest in the world with some 1,500 aircraft movements a day and can only be described as a nightmare. ORD covers 7,000 acres and will have six 8,000-foot runways, none of them intersecting, with five bleed-offs each to taxi strips. Plans call for an extension of the terminal building to five times its present size, making the overall picture comparable to a wagon wheel. There will be five arms extending from the terminal building and each of the arms will have two fingers forming the spokes of the wheel. There will be 70 gate positions (MDW has 24) located along the 10 fingers and each gate (Cont. on page 2, col. 1) The program basically calls for the CAB to issue Pan American a temporary five-year certificate to fly along the coast only from December through April and authority to operate international flights between the Northeastern U.S. and Latin America on a year-round basis. The program has built in restrictions to protect the competitive positions of the airlines presently authorized to fly these routes. To limit frequencies the year-round flights would originate and terminate south of Miami, Cuba and the Bahamas. In the proposal to the CAB, it was noted that we could, without buying an additional plane, operate 15 round trips, or 2,250 seats, a day between the Northeast and Miami simply by more economical and efficient use of equipment necessary to maintain our summer peak. The seasonal flights would operate between Miami and Bal-timore/Washington (Friendship Airport), Philadelphia, New York and Boston. Our proposal was presented in the form of a petition for reconsideration of the CAB’s decision in the NY-Florida proceedings which granted a five-year temporary certificate to Northeast Airlines to operate from New England to Florida and at the same time improved the services of Eastern and National. The Pan American proposal pointed out that neither Eastern nor Northeast would be expanded enough this winter to carry the expected increase between New York and Miami (Continued on page 8, col. 1) Travel Cut In view of the uncertain conditions in the Middle East area all free or reduced rate vacation travel authorizations presently outstanding for travel east of Turkey or west of Karachi are temporily suspended. Stations should so notify I any employees in their areas 9 planning such travel and va- j cationing employees present- j ly in the Middle East should I plan early departure.
