PAGE TWO THE PIEDMONITOR SEPTEMBER, 1967 wEPiEDmonim Piedmont Aviation, Inc. Smith Reynolds Airport Winston-Salem, N. C. Betsy Allen, Editor The Essence Of Time Time. One of the most valuable elements of life. Time, the elusive value that governs, dominates and limits man’s very existence. Today, in a modern world racing toward tomorrow and tomorrow, time is a constant challenge. Especially to our industry, which to great measure is built on time — and saving it. The essence of time is the essence of our business. It is primary, urgent, mandatory that we perform our jobs always cognizant of the fact that time is precious, it is dollars, it means success or failure. Your being on time, no matter where you work or what you do, has a definite effect, a real impact on the total performance and image of our airline. Ultimately, our on-time records spell the difference between winning or losing passengers. If you don’t fly a plane or check in passengers or load baggage or sell tickets or repair engines, how do you fit into our program designed to put the accent — always — on being on time all the time? Your influence is felt just as keenly as that of the people who are directly involved with passengers and aircraft. By your attitude. By your actions. Directly and indirectly. If you think, talk and make a habit of being on time in everything you do, your efforts will be catchy with fellow employees, everywhere. A company cannot function well without the team spirit, without the full cooperation of everyone in all projects. If there is a breakdown in on-time performance in one depart ment, there will be a slowdown throughout. Failure, like success, mushrooms. Make your on-time record one you can’t break! —Martha Green Bagby The National Reporter Did You Know That . . . Fifty-two per cent of the free world’s 5,900 airliners are piston engine aircraft. However, this 52 per cent accounts for only nine per cent of the total capacity offered by all the airlines. On January 1, 1967 aircraft manufacturers held unfilled orders for 2,872 jet air transports. About 52 per cent of these orders were for Boeing built jets; 28 per cent were for jets manufactured by the Douglas Aircraft Company, while the remaining 20 per cent were for jet airliners built by Sud- Aviation, the British Aircraft Corporation, Hawker Siddeley, and Convair. About 75 per cent of the free world’s air passengers fly in American built airliners. If the brakes on all the 860 Boeing jet airliners now in service were applied fully at one time, the braking power generated would be enough to bring 860,000 automobiles to a full stop from a speed of 50 mph. Air taxi companies operate more than 5,200 planes, or three times as many aircraft as are flown by our domestic scheduled airlines. Airline crew scheduling is so complicated that the nine people making up a normal flight crew of a big jet airliner are not likely to work together as a crew more than once in a lifetime. About half of all the pure jet aircraft flown by the U. S. scheduled airlines touch down at Chicago’s O’Hare Interna tional Airport at least once a day. The cost of flying lessons for the beginning student pilot is not as great as one might believe. One reliable estimate in dicates that it costs about 50 per cent more than some dancing schools charge for teaching basic dancing steps. Hunting bows and arrows, like guns, are considered as dangerous weapons and must be stowed aboard an airliner in a place which is “inaccessible to passengers during flight.” Congrats 20 YEARS L. H.

Nelson—to Mech, Helper, ORF J. A. Best—to Res. Capt., ROA L, J. Braun—to Res. Capt. Ti^S VFR with Turby Well, it finally did happen to two fine people — Captain Jack Kelley and Ann Parsons!! Yep, they are now Mr. and Mrs. Jack Kelley. Jack joined Piedmont as station agent in CRW, went on to become manager of that station and now is Captain, based at ILM. Ann joined us at DCA as agent November, 1957, and served well for us throughout the years. She will be missed by all of her co-workers. Best of luck to both of you. Over the years, we’ve been confronted from time to time with live animals getting loose on our aircraft. Recently on Flight 702 in ATL, before leaving the ramp, a flock of parakeets managed to “fly the coop” in the forward cargo compartment and winged their way into the passenger-filled cabin of the plane, alighting on the heads and shoulders of many passengers. Miss Mary Nightingale was the stewardess and with the help of the passengers, she man aged to corral all the birds and get them back in their box. She was so excited as the trip taxied out her announcement went like this, “Welcome aboard, etc., our next landing will be Nightingale. Your stewardess is Miss Parakeet.” The following was sent in by A. B. Casey, Station Manager at Lexington: “Employees can make or break a company. A surve:,^^ on why companies lose customers showed ■— 1% of customers di^^P 3% move away; 5% make other friendships; 9% are stolen by competitors; 14% don’t like the product and 68% were treated poorly by employees. Bill Johnson of TRI is a sneaky deer hunter — he has been working all summer building a tree house to shoot from out in deer country near TRI. I understand he is fixing it up for all the comforts of life — cooking facilities, heating facilities, lounge chairs, etc. Bill, you’re getting soft in your old age — unfair too. HERE AND THERE — Jim (Leaky) Faucette, Station Man ager — PSK, recently married. Saw Walt and Flo Ryczek’s new hillside home in HTS last week. Flo is going to build a waterfall down the side of the hill that should be comparable to Niagara. Walt is excited over the project. Bob Rose, RIC Station Manager, is a full-fledged licensed boat captain. Captain Bill Settle will buy anything you have to sell. He recently bought a cub bear from Harold Gibson. (See Bill for details). * * * Do you live within your income? Certainly not! I have all I can do to live within my credit! H= * * Night club patron watching a gorgeous Latin going through her torrid dance routine, remarked to his friend, “Lots of pepper!” Friend: “Nice shaker, too!.”
