AN OPEN LETTER TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
FROM THE
EMPLOYEES OF THE WORLD?S MOST EXPERIENCED AIRLINE
Ask our own government
why the Postal Department pays the foreign airlines as much as
five times what it pay Pan Am for hauling the same U.S. Mail. Not
receiving the same pay for the same work costs Pan Am forty
million dollars a year.
Ask our own government
why the U.S. Export-Import Bank loans money to ?underdeveloped?
countries like France, Japan and Saudi Arabia at six percent
interest while Pan Am pays twelve percent.
Ask our own government
why it is opposed to letting Pan Am fly passengers within our
country?it just doesn?t make sense. The domestic airlines now have
rights to international routes that we pioneered, and the foreign
airlines now serve more cities in the United States than we do.
IF PAN AM
WERE ALLOWED DOMESTIC ROUTES WITHIN THE UNITED STATES?OR TO BORROW
FROM EXPORT-IMPORT BANK?OR TO PAY REASONABLE LANDING FEES
OVERSEAS?OR TO RECEIVE EQUAL POSTAGE RATES FROM OUR OWN
GOVERNMENT, WE WOULDN’T NEED ANY SUBSIDY AT ALL!
In fact we
wouldn?t need to have taken up a collection to run this is ad.
