Airline Pilots Carrying
Livestock Win Pay Raise
Because of Smell of Cargo
LONDON, Iff) — Twenty British
airline pilots have won a pay
raise because—to put it frankly
—they stink.
The fliers man freight trans
ports used by the British Over
seas Airways Corp. for the air
shipment of such livestock as
racehorses, monkeys, pigs and
cattle.
Denis Fellows, a spokesman for
the British Airline Pilots Assn.,
told a wage tribunal yesterday:
“These men take their meals
while flying in degrading and ob
noxious conditions. Their bodies
are so contaminated by the ever
present smell of animals that
when they come in contact with
their fellow men, they are shun
ned.”
The smelly 20 asked for a pay
hike of one pound ($2.80) hourly.
The tribunal awarded them seven'
shillings ($1).
They put in around 300 hours
a year flying animals, handling
other freight the rest of the time.
BOAC said the pilots would get
the extra money only when as
signed to duty with livestock. The
minimum base pay is 1,800
pounds ($5,040) a year.
Minor League CJubs Will
Sue Baseball Majors For
Fifty Million Dollars
ALBANY, N. Y., UP1—Baseball
Commissioner Ford Frick and the
owners of the 16 major league
clubs will be sued for 50 million
dollars by a group of indepen
dent minor league club owners,
the Knickerbocker News reported
Tuesday.
The newspaper said the basis
of the suit will be the invasion of
minor league territory by major
league clubs with telecasts and
radio broadcasts of American and
National League games, thereby
causing the minors loss of millions
of dollars in patronage and forc
ing some clubs and leagues out of
operation.
In New York Frick said he had
not heard previously about the
suit. He would make no other
comment.
