INT HAS NEW GOLF
CHAMP
Jim Messick became I NT’s
new golf cliamp at the annual
golf tournament held at t h e
Hillcrest Golf Course September
26. The 29 entrants player! 36
holes to compete for honors in
four flights. In the first flight,
Messick’s total score of 164 gave
him a three stroke lead over
the runner up and defending
champ, J. B. Morefield, whose
total score was 167.
Other flight winners were Jim
Pfaff, second flight, with a score
of 181; L. J. Lambert, third
flight, with a total of 199; and
Homer Gordon, fourth flight,
with a 205.
The first tournament was held
last year. It is hoped that the
event will be an annual one.

Island in North Carolina.
Have you ever thought it un
usual that the airlines, highly
competitive in many respects,
are lined up side by side in most
airports and travel agencies? The
ticket counters all look about
the same. Tickets, too, are alike,
and what's more, a ticket issued
by one airline may be good for
continuing passage on another
airline.
This type of cooperation-
among the various air carriers is
facilitated by an organization
known as the ATA, or Air Trans
port Association. What is the
ATA? It is the airlines them
selves. In December of 1936, at
a meeting in Chicago, Illinois,
the airlines banded together in
an association dedicated “to do
all things tending to promote
the betterment of airline busi
ness and, in general, to do every
thing in its power to best serve
the interest and welfare of the
members of this Association and
the public at large."
Unlike the CAB and the FAA,
the ATA is not a regulatory
agency of the government. Rath
er it is an association of all the
airlines intended to provide a
“conference table” whereby the
airlines can reach agreements
among themselves to provide
more efficient service to the pub
lic. In addition, such an associa
tion is able to speak on behalf
of the entire airline industry
about matters of mutual interest.
The combined airlines can speak
with a much stronger voice than
a single organization. In a sense,
ATA provides the airlines with
an .internal self-government.
Most of the work of the ATA
is done through two conferences.
Traffic and Operations. These
conferences in turn appoint com
mittees to study issues and make
recommendations to the general
conference. All final decisions
must be unanimous; thus, each
airline has an equal voice.
The administrative set up of
the ATA includes an Operations
and Engineering Department,
concerned with air safety and
efficiency; a Finance and Ac-

counting Department which
handles distribution of revenue
when passengers use more than
one airline in the course of a
trip; the Personnel Relations De
partment, which, through inves
tigation and recommendation, as
sures a certain amount of uni
formity of job qualifications,
working conditions, and wages
among the various airlines; and
a Traffic Department, which is
constantly searching for better,
more efficient ways to handle
such perennial problems as
ticketing and baggage checks.
In addition, there is a' Re
search and Economics Staff, a
Legal Department, a Public Af
fairs Department (dealing with
air transportation at the local
and state levels), and a Federal
Affairs Department. The Federal
Affairs Department is very im
portant as a liaison between the
industry as a whole and the fed
eral government. It always acts
in the interests of the airlines
with regard to any federal legis
lation.
Finally, a Public Relations De
partment provides a multitude
of information on various as
pects of airline industry for
members of the industry as well
as for the general public.
An example of the ATA’s work
is the co-operative effort of the
airlines which allows baggage
checked at one point to be trans
ferred to other airlines in the
course of a trip without being
rechecked. Similarly, the ATA
has now set up ARCH (Airline
Baggage Recovery Clearing
House), which uses the latest
electronic telecommunications
equipment to link all major air
lines into a nationwide teletype
hookup to a central clearing
house for information concern
ing misrouted bags. The system
greatly speeds recovery of lost
luggage. ATA has also initiated
a blank ticket which, in the near
future, will serve for all airlines,
and which will eliminate for
travel agencies some of the risk
of having large quantities of
several airlines’ ticket stock on
hand.
Through the ATA, the airlines
are working on hundreds of
specific problems and objectives
to better service their passen
gers, shippers and the nation.
ATjTA Serves Regional Airlines
ALTA, or the Association of
Local Transport Airlines, is in
tended to supplement the activi
ties of the Air Transport Asso
ciation. Like the ATA, it has as
its goal the adoption of policies
and procedures which will im
prove efficiency and safety
among the air carriers, and
which will be proposed and
adopted by the carriers them
selves.
Through the efforts of ALTA,
for instance, a Fly-AIl-the-Way
Plan was initiated. Under the
plan, foreign visitors can pur
chase unlimited air travel via the
local service carriers for a bulk
rate of $100 for 15 days travel or
$200 for 45 days of travel.
General management and con
trol of the association is entrust
ed to a board of directors made
up of nine presidents of member
airlines. An executive Director
co-ordinates the work of the
Association and calls for meet
ings of the board. He adminis
ters funds according to the wish
es of the board.
In all its activities, ALTA at
tempts “to promote and protect
the general welfare of the mem
bers of this Association, of the
industry, and of the public at
large, in a manner consistent
with the purposes of this Asso
ciation.”

PIEDMONT POSTMAN
(Continued from Page Two)
I was glad I had to stay over.
Thursday, I called in the after
noon, and, not giving my name
as I figured it would be point
less, asked about the opportun
ity for a C-3 rider on flight 106.
A young lady answered and call
ing me by name said, “You have
an excellent chance tonight.”
Nearer the time for departure, I
called again for a last minute
check. Mr. Gentry answered this
time and, also calhng my name,
said there was room.
It may be that the older we
get the more susceptible we are
to flattery, if courtesy may be
called flattery. I am 77 years
old and the pass was obtained
for me through my son who
works for Eastern. Thanks again
for selecting such courteous and
nice people to handle your Ashe
ville, N. C., office.
Sincerely.
