Miami blitzes interliners. Miami District made sure airlines in its area were aware of the Air Canada presence. In a giant interline sales blitz covering all of southeast Florida's airline offices from West Palm Beach to Miami, local sales staff distributed some 1,700 kits. Each kit contained brochures on Canada, a locally produced interline booklet and a telephone pen. Also included was a letter offering sales incentive passes to interliners. Giving Miami a big assist in the promotion were two multilingual In-charge Flight Attendants who accompanied local staff on its rounds to the various airline offices. Shown during a 'station stop' are, from the left: Oscar Junco, City Ticket Office Agent; Jim Pitts, Sales Representative; Terry Kling and Helen Cadwell (in front), Eastern Air Lines; Tom Blair, Western; Barbara Morgan, Eastern; Hans Marchand, Flight Service Director, Toronto; Sales Representative Carlos Escobar and Toronto Purser Alex Bedirian. |

Miami whoops it up. Hidden talent came to the fore at a Miami Interline party celebrating the company's 40th anniversary when local Air Canada staff put on a show for the more than 300 interliners and local media attended. The party, which had a cabaret atmosphere with music and dancing, was a howling success. Highlight of the evening was the floor show featuring the singing 'Supremes' and the 'Can-Can' dancers, all company talent. What was lacking in talent was made up in enthusiasm and there was even an encore! Shown in the photo are, from the left, back row: Bob Munro, Jim Pitts, Mary Bermudez, (Supreme); Miriam Alvarez, (Can-Can); Yvon Viau, (Supreme); Peter de Sisto, Lise Cooley, Gene Stockett and Julia Russell, (Supreme).
