PAGE SIX THE PIEDMONITOR OCTOBER, 1962 PIEDMONT POSTMAN . . (Continued from Page Two) in two of your airports couldn’t have been kinder if I had been their own Aunt Minnie. I flew . . . from Pittsburgh to Bristol, where two young men from your office pushed me in a wheelchair (I am lame) and put me in as cool a spot as was avail able on a very hot day. They were also careful not to put me aboard your plane to Asheville until it was necessary, because they knew it would be hot on board. At Asheville, where relatives met me, a man was waiting with another wheelchair, although I had not requested it. He made sure I was safe in my family’s care before he considered his duties completed. The airport at Pittsburgh was equipped with all sorts of people and equipment to make such services easy, but I felt that what your men did at Bristol and Asheville was beyond the call of duty. It all adds up to a feeling of eagerness to go traveling again. Sincerely, G.D.T. Meadville, Pa. * * * Dear Sir: With all the criticisms that the airlines have been subjected to recently, I have been one of those who have felt very strong ly that many of the airlines were losing the good will of the travel ing public. ■ This letter is being written for the purpose of complimenting one of your employees, a Mr. Leonard Martin, who recently helped me during a plane change in Atlanta. I am not accustomed to writ ing letters either pro or con on the subject but feel that in those cases where compliments are warranted that recognition be accorded to those who give such helpful service. I am sure that you like to hear these things about your people. Sincerely, C.C.P. New York, N. Y. BAGS FOR ALL OCCASIONS s ‘imiNE: LUGGnce This is our Airline Special Suitcase, just set the dial to the length of your flight and a fape recorder aotO‘ matically screams ‘take me to your supervisor’ when the time’s up!" Airlines Create Needed Safety Devices ATA—In addition to observing the highest safety standards re quired of any segment of avia tion, United States scheduled air lines observe service and opera tional policies above and beyond what is required of them. They have exercised leader ship and use of many safety de vices and procedures. Included are: * Creation of the nation’s first air traffic control service * Pilot-operated airborne wea ther radar * Anti-collision lights on aircraft * Reversible-pitch propellers, and thrust - reversing mechanisms for jet engines ♦Preventive Maintenance — thorough aircraft inspections at frequent intervals, and replace ment of parts at prescribed intervals whether or not they need it * Swift notice to all airlines "of a problem encountered with an airci'aft of any one airline * A policy of flying under instru- Which Would You Pick? ii /J € ment rules and procedures even in good weather when operat ing above specified altitudes, as an added measure to assure safe separation of aircraft in flight. Many of these developments have been adopted as standard requirements by the Civil Aero nautics Administration and its successor, the Federal Aviation Agency. Wk en • • Seven Years Ago In The Piedmonitor Capt. Zeke Saunders received jet indoctrination training in T-33 aircraft at Moody AFB, Val dosta, Ga., in order to learn the problems facing operators of jet airplanes . . . Mrs. Louise Chris- tenbury was welcomed as a new comer to the INT office . . . Bob McAlphin and his bride of two months were welcomed to CLT. Five Years Ago TRI staffers celebrated a “4000 party” by downing 45 steaks . . . Madge Lanier left DCA to go to CLT . . . The RDU crew thanked Wallace Kerr for tossing a weiner roast for them at the Durham Police Range at Lake Michie . . . Cliff Rowe was made Asst. Superintendent of the Engine Overhaul Shop, and Jack Rowe became Foreman in Charge of the Cylinder Depart ment. One Year Ago The new ROA hangar was dedicated with John Rehder in charge . . . Tommy Young of CLT was voted “Agent of the Year” by the area’s Airline Progress Committee . . . September 1 was an all-time high day with 2,275 boardings ... Joe Fix became the fifth employee to sport the diamond 20-year pin. AnjOM4ul A picture with a pretty girl can help draw attention to everything from yogurt to tractors. So, t'was reasoned, why not send a picture of a pretty girl to several newspapers over the system to help promote the new quick reference schedule? Lovely INT secretary Barbara Trivette posed with the yards of IBM paper which helped to make up the new schedule, and the above photographs were the result. Only one could be used — which one would YOU have chosen? (P. S.—final choice was the one on the upper left). FAA Issues Disaster Guide For Airports A new guide to assist airport operators plan what to do in case of a nuclear attack has been prepared by the Federal Avia tion Agency. The guide outlines steps to be taken so that air ports may continue to function in the event of an attack. Applicable to all sizes of air ports, the Airport Disaster Con trol Guide is now being made available to airport managers through FAA Airport District Offices by the Agency’s Airports Service. Special briefings to ac quaint communities with the im portance of pre-emergency plan ning will be available in conjunc tion with the distribution of the 36-page booklet. The guide was compiled on the basis that airports, including smaller fields, would be critical to national recovery in a post- attack period. It provides tech nical guidance to help insure continued operations at airports in a national emergency. It out lines'the positive steps that can be taken immediately, in coope ration with local government and defense agencies to reduce or avoid problems of attack re covery. The guide suggests assessing existing airport facilities and making an inventory of equip ment, as well as acquiring de vices for detecting radioactivity. It shows how to plan an airport disaster control organization and urges periodic training of airport personnel. It covers information on warning systems, recom mends fallout shelters for pro tecting airport employees and transients, and the acquisition of special emergency equipment and supplies needed in case of disaster. Such areas as evaluat ing and reducing the vulner ability of airports to attack and other emergency conditions are covered. PROMOTIONS J. F. Johnson to Sales Mgr., Parts and Accessories, INT-FB C. W.
