...other phase of Eastern's strike is jurisdictional, an argument between the pilots' and engineers' unions over whether the "third man" in the cockpit shall be a pilot or an engineer (TIME, May 5). Eastern has agreed with the pilots' union that the engineer on pure jets should be a trained pilot also. It is willing to give its engineers pilot training at company expense, but the engineers say this is no help; as pilots, they will be at the bottom of seniority lists, will be laid off if the line starts reducing its crews because...
...pilots also set a deadline for a strike this week. As with the engineers, the issue is higher pay (up an average 15% a month to $1,900 for senior DC-7 pilots) and a contract with the line specifying that the "third man" in the cockpit of the new jets will be a pilot as well as an engineer...
...Delayed seven weeks by rough weather and modifications to his sleek jet hydroplane Bluebird, Speedmerchant Donald Campbell tucked a cuddly teddybear mascot into the cockpit with him, roared up and down Lancashire's glassy Lake Coniston at an average speed of 248.62 m.p.h. to smash his own world record (239.07 m.p.h.), promptly declared his ultimate goals were 300 m.p.h. on water, 400 m.p.h. on land (v. the land record of 394.2 m.p.h. set at Bonneville, Utah, in 1947 by the late John Cobb). ¶ "Coaching football is a rotten life," said Michigan's mild-mannered Bennie Oosterbaan...

In the version of the play published by Grove Press (which I have had to use for my quotations, and which is slightly different from the version being used in this production), the dramatist lays down some directions...
...military tanker and commercial prototype before the first plane was delivered to American. The pilots are delighted with it-although their wage demands for the jet age may ground some of the airlines before the fight is over. The pilots insist that the third man in the jet cockpit be a pilot instead of an engineer (TIME, May 5), want more money ($45,000 a year for a Pan American flight captain v. $25,000 now) on grounds that the jets are harder to fly. But the jets are easier, have 100 fewer instruments than...
