...After eleven years of one-man rule by irascible Clarence (Clancy) Sayen, the 14,000-member Air Line Pilots Association chose a new president: mild-mannered Charles Homer Ruby, 52. Backed by retiring President Sayen as a way of freezing out his arch-opponent, ALPA First Vice President John Carroll, Ruby is a onetime mechanic who has logged 20,000 flying hours in everything from chugging J-1s to jet-powered DC-8s, ranks No. 2 on National Airlines' seniority list. He inherits a Sayen-created impasse. The convention that elected Ruby also voted to continue the two-year...

Southern's 139 pilots and copilots, all ALPA members, walked off their jobs last June when Hulse turned down their demands for shorter hours, a boost in wages (captains were making an average of $13,000 annually) and changes in the working rules, notably the elimination of a clause in the company's manual that prohibits married pilots from dating stewardesses. Hulse said that the demands would boost the line's operating expenses $665,000 a year, and since he is already getting $3,200,000 a year in government subsidy, he was not at all sure...

By October Southern was not only flying all of its routes but also had added a new leg in Tennessee. There upon the striking pilots, backed by $300,000 from ALPA...

...transatlantic flight (TIME, Feb. 16), Old Pilot Quesada fined both Pan Am and the captain. He followed that up by publicly warning the Air Line Pilots Association that pilots are to stay in their cockpits with their belts fastened instead of gladhanding with the public. When the ALPA attacked this enforcement as a "childish Gestapo program," Quesada fired back a blunt answer: Obey the rules or take the matter to court. Last week Quesada tightened up more. He took steps to ban commercial pilots over 55 from flying jet planes in the future, ground pilots 60 or older...

...strike against American, which flies 24,000 passengers daily east and west, had been building since ALPA's contract expired 16 months ago. A principal point at issue in the onrushing jet age: whether the third man in the jet cockpit should be a pilot or flight engineer. ALPA and American had reached an informal agreement by adding a fourth man as third pilot. But then they disagreed on wages and flying hours for crews of both jet and piston-driven planes. American offered substantial wage increases, e.g., from $19,200 annually to $28,000 for eight-year pilots...
