AIRLINE GROUND
CREW TRAINING FOR
ALASKANS PLANNED
R. E. Murray of Seattle, director
of training for Alaska Airlines, con
ferred with S«i. Gruening and of
ficials of the Department of the
Interior recently concerning a pro
gram the firm hopes to get under
way promptly to train Alaskans,
including natives, in airplane me
chanics and other ground crew
functions.
The problem the airlines face in
Alaska, according to Murray, is
that many individuals on their
ground crews are nearing retire
ment age and replacements must
be found. He said that while Alaska
Airlines at a training school oper
ated in connection with its base
at Payne Field, near Everett. Wn.,
has trained many pilots, navigators,
stewardesses and others for the
various airlines operating in Alaska,
the firm has not up to now train
ed ground crews.
The airline plans to institute a
ground crew training course of 14
months’ duration. By training
Alaska residents who are interested
in staying in the state, the firm
feels it will avoid the problem that
has beset some firms in past years,
when, after expensive training, em
ployes chose not to stay long in
Alaska.
Problems still to be solved are in
the area of tuition and expenses
while undergoing training. It is
thought that perhaps the Area Re
development Administration of the
Commerce Department and the Of
fice of Vocational Rehabilitation of
the Department of. Health, Educa
tion and Welfare may be of as
sistance.
