ALPA EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETS
The Executive Board of the Assoc- iation resolved at its 14th meeting (Dec. 7-10) in Washington to register "total opposition" to FAA's proposal to impose responsibility for medical certification and surveillance of flight crew members upon the individual oir carriers. The Board directed the Aero- medical-Flight Time/Duty Time Com- mittee "to take any and all steps it feels are necessary to prevent the adoption" of the proposal and instruct- ed the Association's President to "pro- vide the necessary support and resour- ces," and including "if necessary" re- convening the Executive Board for consideration "of other
the proposal and instruct- ed the Association's President to "pro- vide the necessary support and resour- ces," and including "if necessary" re- convening the Executive Board for consideration "of other appropriate courses of action."
The Board, after lengthy discussion concerning the impact of the Aloha arbitration award on ALPA's crew com- plement policy, reaffirmed its "full and vigorous support of the crew com- plement policy and of all existing
agreements and awards establishing the same. " The Board said that consistent with the Nov. 23 arbitration award (which it noted "applied and interpret- ed the Association's policy as being founded on safety as related to the operating conditions and enviroment of the carrier involved") and consistent with past practice, the Boeing 737 crew complement policy is interpreted to require "with the concurrence of the Executive Committee and the Pre- sident" that the MEC on each airline involved assess that airline's conditions and enviromental factors "and reach a determination as to the basis of imple- mentation" of the crew complement policy. The Board ordered the Presi- dent to "cause the Association to pro- vide full support to such
MEC on each airline involved assess that airline's conditions and enviromental factors "and reach a determination as to the basis of imple- mentation" of the crew complement policy. The Board ordered the Presi- dent to "cause the Association to pro- vide full support to such determina- tions" and to conclude agreements that give full effect to such determi- nations.
Finally, the Board said the Pre- sident and the Executive Committee should study and evaluate "crew co- ordination and operating techniques on all airline jet aircraft."
Other actions taken by the Exe- cutive Board include the following: Supported the Airworthiness and Performance Committee in its concern over the use of reduced-thrust takeoff procedures.

DB Cooper-618;ALLEVIENY - MOHAWK LABOR PROTECTIVE PROVISIONS RECOMMENDED
For the second time in less than a week a CAB hearing examiner sup- ported a position long urged by ALPA and recommended sweeping changes in the labor protective conditions tra- ditionally imposed in merger cases. (PILOT BULLETIN, November, page 1). In his recommended decision approving the Allegheny-Mohawk merger, Examiner Merritt Ruhlen re- jected the
In his recommended decision approving the Allegheny-Mohawk merger, Examiner Merritt Ruhlen re- jected the position of the carriers that the so-called "standard" provisions first imposed in the United-Capital merger case over a decade ago should be imposed again without change. Addressing himself directly to the changes in the provisions recommended by ALPA, Ruhlen wrote: "It is nec- essary to consider the suggested changes on their merits rather than to rely on a decision of 10 years ago made in a different economic climate upon a different factual basis."
Ruhlen's recommended decision 'endorsed the following changes in the standard provisions urged by ALPA:
(1) A shifting of the burden of proof under the United-Capital for- mula so that a claiming employe would be required to do nothing more than show that a merger occurred and that his condition of employment changed adversely. Should the employer con- tend that the change was the result of some factor other than the merger, the burden would be on the employer to establish that contention through the production of evidence.
Should the employer con- tend that the change was the result of some factor other than the merger, the burden would be on the employer to establish that contention through the production of evidence. (Under the United-Capital formula, an employe must carry the virtually impossible burden of showing that his change in employment was caused "solely" by the merger and no other cause.)
(2) A change in the compensation for a displaced employe to include average compensation during the base period plus "subsequent wage increases" for the duration of the protection per- iod. (United-Capital excluded all such increases.)
(3) A change in the base period used for determining average compen-
sation to the one-year period "imme- diately prior to (the employe's) dis- placement" rather than one year prior to the merger as under the United- Capital provisions.
(4) An extension of the protec- tive provisions'coverage to all em- ployes whose job status may be changed by a carrier's rearranging of its work force in anticipation of a merger regardless of the date on which such a rearrangement actually takes place.
provisions'coverage to all em- ployes whose job status may be changed by a carrier's rearranging of its work force in anticipation of a merger regardless of the date on which such a rearrangement actually takes place.
Examiner Ruhlen's decision is now subject to review and amendment by the full CAB as well as final approval by President Nixon before it may take effect. ALPA attorneys have filed briefs in both the Delta-Northeast and'Allegheny-Mohawk merger cases urging that the specific differences of the alteration in labor protective pro- visions recommended by the two hear- ing examiners be rationalized in such a manner as to preserve the most sub- stantial changes in the old and in- adequate United-Capital formula.
BOSTON PILOTS BRIEFED ON BENEFITS
Pilot retirement and insurance benefits was the subject of a presenta- tion by ALPA's Retirement and Insur- ance Department in early December. The purpose of the experimental pro- gram wos to present directly to pilots an analysis of their benefits and op- tions in both the retirement and insur- ance areas.
Eastern pilots' benefits were cho- sen for the analysis and the presenta- tion was made at Boston's Logan Air- port on Dec.
Eastern pilots' benefits were cho- sen for the analysis and the presenta- tion was made at Boston's Logan Air- port on Dec. 2-3 by ALPA Field Rep- resentative Rhoads Donovan and Insur- ance Analyst Stuart Hall.
The program was a formal presen- tation by both representatives with the help of visual aids that outlined the Eastern Pilots' Fixed (A) and Variable
(B) Retirement Benefit Plans and the Group Insurance Program. Pilots were encouraged to ask questions and forms were provided for more detailed prob- lems that could be answered through the Retirement and Insurance Depart- ment at ALPA's Home Office in Wash- ington.
The experimental presentation was basically successful. One problem area, however, was the lack of suffi- cient advance notice, which resulted in a small ottendance. Both represen- tatives felt that although attendance was minimal, the information program proved worthwhile and was well re- ceived by the pilots who were able to attend.

The effect of lowering these stairs in flight was hardly noticeable on the controls and the only positive indication he had that the stairs were lowered was the lighting of an indicator light on the instrument panel The stairs were lowered at a speed of 150 knots. While the stairs were lowered the plane remained in the same attitude. There was no yawing or pitching.
He furnished the following opinions in connection with the question of whether or not a pilot would feel in his controls a sudden loss of weight of approximately 180 pounds from the tail of a 727. He advised that if the pilot were flying the aircraft manually and if the air were calm, he would feel a sudden loss of 180 pounds weight from the tail of the aircraft. He explained that the loss of this weight would move the center of gravity toward the front of the airplane and while this movement would be slight, it could be
He explained that the loss of this weight would move the center of gravity toward the front of the airplane and while this movement would be slight, it could be felt in the wheel by the pilot. He stated, however, that if the air were turbulent, it is doubtful that the pilot would feel this sudden loss of weight. He indicated also that if the plane were being flown on auto-pilot the loss of this weight would not be felt by the pilot.
He advised that if the rear stairs on a 727 is lowered in flight at an altitude of less than 10,000 feet a change in pressurization occurs and this could be felt by the crew if the door leading into the cockpit is open. If the cockpit door were closed, it is doubtful that the crew would experience the change in pressurization.
