BEHIND THE SCENES Marooned at home and deprived of air shows—including July’s canceled Farnborough and EAA AirVenture Oshkosh events—John Morris, the longtime editor of Aviation Week’s ShowNews, had extra time to complete a special project he had been working on for 15 years. In July, Morris took to the skies for the fi rst time in his homebuilt biplane at Goodspeed Airport (42B) on the banks of the Connecticut River. The Staaken Flitzer Z-21, a 1924-technology wood-and-fabric biplane, was constructed using 33 pages of plans and a pile of wood and is powered by a German 80-hp AeroVee VW engine. “It was an immense thrill to fl y the Flitzer after all those years of building it,” proclaimed “Baron” Morris, who closed out the month as the recipient of the Aerospace MAUREEN SPUHLER PHOTOS Media Awards Lifetime Achievement honor (page 8).

From the domestic reactions to the first symptoms of the malady-the detours to Havana in the early 1960's-to the strengthened do- mestic and internationalresponse to the epidemic at the turn of the decade, Secretary Volpe and Mr. Stewart here catalogue a definitive statement of what has been done and what yet must be done to combat air piracy and international blackmail: the legal and scientific devices employed by the U.S. and urged for other countries, and international cooperation such as in the Tokyo Convention, the Hague Conventiont of December, 1970, and the draft conventions remaining on the internationalagenda.

  • Remarks of Julie Frederick Association of Professional Flight
    Remarks of Julie Frederick Association of Professional Flight Attendants Before the Advisory Committee for Aviation Consumer Protection Meeting Space Allocated Per Passenger on Aircraft April 14, 2015 Good morning Members of the Advisory Committee. I am here as a representative of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants. The APFA represents the world’s largest air carrier and is the largest main line flight attendant union in the world, with over 25,000 flight attendants. I am pleased to appear before you today to offer a flight attendant’s perspective regarding safety and health concerns relative to the space allocated for customers on board passenger aircraft. We believe we are at a crossroads regarding passenger travel and the customer experience. Driven by the past economic realities of aviation travel, experiences for the coach economy passenger today is often a negative one that increasingly affects safety and security, as well as the overall customer traveling experience. Seat pitch – that is, as you know, the distance between a seat and the seat either in front of or behind another seat – used to be 34 inches. Since deregulation, the air carriers have steadily reduced the seating space for economy passengers as they have increased passenger density. What was once the norm – 34 inches of pitch – is now considered “comfort class or main cabin extra” and comes only at a premium. The gradual shrinking of personal seat space has been accompanied by a new discipline by management on load factors so that more and more flights are full. That is good for our companies’ bottom line but the days of the empty middle seat are a thing of the past.
