Siegel, Regional Vice President, Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization, Suite 201-A, 1568 Willingham Drive, Atlanta, Georgia 30337. Dear Mr. Siegel, We have finally heard from the CAB in connection with our tariff filing to allow a 50% discount to PATCO employees and their immed- iate families. I'm afraid the news is not too good. The CAB rejected our filing entirely. They went in for a lot of the usual technical reasons but at the heart of the matter the Board feels that there is lack of justification for discount fares for U.S. Government employees. Apparently, they also feel that the filing is discriminatory and if they had not found grounds for rejecting it they would have suspended it. Under the circumstances, there seems little point in pursuing the matter. We are very sorry things have turned out as they have but hope that it will not affect the very fine relationship we feel we have with your members.

Mr. Harry Hoses THE Ar)',IINI~; rp"n f! Sixty Minutes - CBS 51 West 52nd Street New York, N.Y. 10019 Dear Hr. }10ses: This refers to the recent CBS "60 Ninutes" Lnt ervLew conducted by Morley Safer in wh Lch I was asked to comment on allegations that military jets use air carrier fliChts as mock intercept, targets 'in off-shore airspace controlled by the Jacksonville Air Route Traffic Control Center. Hr. Safer ci~ed a figure of 13 to 15 such incidents every month. I said at the time that I Has not aware of any such incidents and I did not believe the charges to be true. A subsequent review of the situation has confirmed this vieH. The Jacksonville center does have jurisdiction over a great many military training flights and, for this reason, He mainta:i.nvery close liaison w i th the military services. Horking together, we have established procedures and 'special-use airspace to accommodate these training operations w Lt.hout; interfering with civil traffic. The military has been extremely coopera- tive in helping us identify and resolve potential problems and, as a result, the Jacksonville center has compiled an outstanding safety record. Since the first of the year, we have had only two incidents in wh Lch the possibility of mock intercept operations was raised by either pilots or controllers. The fi.rstHas thoroughly investigated at the time and the intercept allegation disproved. In fact, the military aircraft in the case never left the established wa rn Lng area. The second incident occurred aIt cr our Oc tobcr 15 Lnt crv Lcw arid involved a private xather than a commercial aircraft. It is still under investigation. With regard to the alleged mock intercept involving an Eastern Air Lines flight, wh Lch was cited by Hr. Safer in our interv Lew, this incident \JaS investigated and the possibility of all intercept disproved. Claims hy Mr. Safer that the Eastern flight had to take "severe evasive action" and missed the m lli.tnry plane by "only 100 fcct" also wc rc found LnvnLicl, Our Lnvest Lgn tLou rc-vcn lr-d that the Air force r-/, \"o.~ operating under visual fJ L0hl rul.os Ln nccord.rn cc w Lt.h air rcgu lat Ions, The controller • •• 2 obs crvcd both the 1'-4 .md Eas t r-r n T'Lfgh t 875 (not 879) on radur and gave the af.r car rLcr a dc t alLc-d radnr traf f Lc advisory on t lic military pI anc in acco rdance wi.t h cs t abl.Lahcd procedure. The Eastern pilot did not say he had to take "severe evasive i1CLion" nor did he subsequently file a near mid-air collision report which he was required to do by regulation if such an incident had occurred. In addition to our r evf.ew of the Jacksonville situation, we have discussed the matter "lith top ranking Air Force and Navy personnel. They, in turn. have conducted their ovm investigation and found nothing to substantiate the charge that their aircraf t are' using commercial flights 2S targets of opportunity. Indeed, they emphasized that both services prohibit this practice. ' They assured us that suspected violators wou l.d be promptly grounded and subjected to more severe disciplinary action, if found guilty. Also. pertinent to this discussion is the fact that we have not received any reports of mock intercept operations from the airlines, the Air Trans- portation Association or the Air Line Pilots A~sociation. These organiza- tions are highly safety-oriented and \1Ou1d have no reason to \·Jithholdsuch information. In v Lew of rhe se facts, I think it is incumbent upon CBS to require its sources to document their allegations that the milirary are regular.ly and routinely conducting mock intercept operations on cowmcrcial and other civil aircraft. To repeat these charges on television before an audience of millions, without anything but hearsay evidence, \'1ouldbe a disservice to the traveling public and inconsistent \Vith CBS' reputation for responsible journalism. !"

Brown In the airline industry that has evolved since deregulation - a snarling competi­ tive jungle with a growing number of hard­ sell cheapo flights that aro/eallylittle more than sky going bus rides- TWA decided a few years back that its smartest marketing position would be to offer not just the usual range of popular-priced fare bargains but a superior service product for the more de­ manding traveler as 'well. By carefully nurturing its high-end im­ age, up beyond reach of the perspiring hustlers, TWA reasoned it could attract, in addition to bargain-shopping leisure trav­ elers enticed by TWA'sreputation for qual­ ity, more than its fair share o( the more lucrative business-travel segment. Implementing such a strategy with lim­ ited resources, though, would require a series of carefully planned, affordable steps rather than an immediate and costly giant leap forward. Step One, then, was the announcement of a special widebody business section Wall-to-wall people crowded the service counter at JFK; some employees worked up to 18 hours straight trying to help known as Ambassador Class, featuring an passengers. - New York Times photos by Chester Higgins, Jr. innovative, generous six-abreast seating arrangement and a number of service ex­ by Anne Saunders plained, TWA could operate only three Cancellation of the regular schedule also tras, for a reasonable premium above coach For the first and only time anyone could eastbound (to Europe) flights.

TOURISMSUPPLY IN THE CARIBBEANREGION A Study for the World Bank by the ShanklandCox Partnership November1974 TOURISMSUPPLY STUDY- CARIBBEANREGION INTRODUCTI0N This study of the supply of tourism facilities in the Caribbean was commissioned by the World Bank (International Bank for Reconstruction and Development) in early 1973. The Shankland Cox Partnership was appointed to carry out the survey, withli 141iss Jill Rawson as the project leader. The field work for the report was carried out during May, June and part of July 1973. The islands visited were Bermuda, The Bahamas, Turks and Caicos Islands, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Eritish Virgin Islands, St. Kitts-Nevis,Antigua, Dominica, St. Lucia, Barbados, Crenada, St. Vincent, and the Cayman Islands. Approximatelyfour days were spent in each island during which time answers to a basic questionnaire were obtained; informationwas collected from the government, private agencies and indi- viduals. Data for Jamaica, the DbminicanRepublic, Trinidad and Tobago, Martinique,Guadeloupe, the NetherlandsAntilles and Haiti were obtained tbrough the office of the ShanklandCox Partnershipin these islands and/ or from material available to the World Bank. The islands listed above constitute 'the CaribbeanRegion' as defined for purposes of this study. The data were consideredto be sufficientlycomprehensive for the World Bank to request that the Consultantsformulate some overall con- clusions about the past, present and future developmentof the tourism sector in the Caribbean.

  • Read More of the CTO History
    THE YEAR WAS 1951: The CTO Story. By Richard S. Kahn and Johnson JohnRose The year was 1951. Tourism was already being seen as having a major role to play in the economic development of Caribbean countries, but there was no organised body to focus the visitor’s thinking on the entire region as a single destination. However, that was about to change as a group of concerned individuals gathered in Antigua to formulate a marketing plan and create a budget to promote the Caribbean as a region. They established the Caribbean Travel Association (CTA) with offices in St. John’s, Antigua. CTA was given an annual budget of US$200, 000 and a mandate to promote the Caribbean as the world’s leading warm weather destination. CTA even then was unique, comprising member states from the four language groups – Dutch, English, French and Spanish – and having a public and private sector directorate. Now, 50 years later, the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) stands as the successor and benefactor of those early years and the Caribbean proudly proclaims success as truly the world’s leading warm weather destination. The seeds for CTO’s creation were really sown in the 1940s. This was war time and the strategic importance of the Caribbean Sea in World War II was immense. Both the British and American governments had very important military bases scattered throughout various islands. On August 14, 1941 an historic meeting took place in the mid-Atlantic, on American and British warships, between US President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
