'Contact' looks for sales leads
Six passenger agents contacted some 3,000 employees during 1981 in a nine-day sales blitz.
The purpose of the blitz was to encourage employees to, in turn, encourage their friends and relatives to fly Air Canada, or at the very least to make their travel plans through the company's travel agency facilities.
The blitz program known as 'Contact' asks employees to play a liaison role between the company and the friend or relative who wants to travel.
The group made their first 'Contact' by calling on President Claude Taylor. Pictured with him in his office are, from the left: Nicole Sauvé, Diane Neuschwander, Lucienne Fitzpatrick, Paula Ravenda, Ann Dickson and Micheline Dilalo.

Purchasing & Supply graduates.
Reid Cavers, formerly a Regina Passenger Agent, and Harry Hall, formerly a General Clerk in Purchasing & Supply, Dorval, are the tenth and eleventh graduates of the Purchasing & Supply Management Program, inaugurated in 1975.
Participants undertake an intensive study of P & S functions and their interrelationships over a ten-month period. Graduates are then assigned to permanent management positions on the basis of demonstrated potential.
