Aviation history - to hairstyling to meteorology - to meal service. (Editors' Note: Terminology below is used in the historical context of the original article.) Initial entrance to their exclusive company calls for rigid specifications of age, height, and weight. Only registered nurses need apply - and only the unmarried. From the ranks of the many applicants that make themselves known to the Passenger Service Department, our Supervisory Stewardesses, Miss M. Dickson and Miss M. A. Halstead, through personal interviews, hand-pick the final few who are to make the jaunt to Winnipeg for a month of initiation and instruction. So you see, our girls are nearly as tailor-made as the trim uniforms they wear. Chosen carefully to fit an important job, they fit it well, making perhaps the closest contact of all with the public we serve, and identifying our T.C.A. name with good service and good-will. In this photo, you see the second largest stewardess class in the history of T.C.A., assembled for their graduation dinner on February 11, 1943. With lectures, familiarization flights, and exams all behind them, they have now been posted across Canada to assume their new duties. From left to right, top row: Dorothy Barton, Toronto; Theresa Mulligan, Vancouver; Cecile Savage, Winnipeg; Priscilla Kavanagh and Audrey Chowne, Vancouver; Ina Molyneaux, Toronto. Second row: Dorothy Gilmore, Moncton; Ethel Thompson, Vancouver; Jean Collins, Winnipeg; Miss M. Dickson, Chief Stewardess; Rosamond Shankel, Halifax; Alma McDougall, Toronto. Front row: Jean Lillian Gray, Winnipeg; Muriel Wright, Vancouver; Faye Hart, Toronto; Catherine Kennedy, Westmount, Quebec. |

Jubilant Jet Jockeys. The men's house league fastball champions are Montreal's 'Jet Jockeys' born this year, 1976. The team was previously known as 'Pilots 2' or "'the other' pilots' team because the 'Boy Pilots,' boasting superstars such as Pat Relton, Ron Daley and Neil Elliot, walked away with the championships in the past. The 'Jet Jockeys' are shown, front row, from the left: Pat Hirst, Mat Sattler, Bob Layzell, Frank Senechal and Jim Strang. Standing, from the left: Tex Anderson, Ted Dodds, Dave Morris, Merv Kuruluk, Greg Robinson, Harry Leslie, Paul Jennings and Paul Debrone. Missing from the photo are Jorg Bertram, Paul Florence, Jim Lemieux, Larry Olson, Lindsay Paxton and Bob Pearson. |

Cargo service from Los Angeles promoted. Some 300 forwarders, consolidators and commercial accounts in the Los Angeles area were hosted by the company during November 1976, in a cargo sales seminar to promote the two daily L-1011's from Los Angeles and outline the excellent cargo service provided by our LD3 containers between Los Angeles and European cities. The reception at the Proud Bird restaurant was an unqualified success and the transatlantic cargo business out of Los Angeles was starting to grow as a convenience, with several shipments to Paris and two to London already having been given to us following the evening. Attending the seminar was this strong cargo contingent from across the system. From the left, standing: Gordon Froede, Los Angeles; L. Baril and Peter Henderson, Montreal; Alf Devenish, London, England; Dave Russell, Vancouver; Gordon Everard and Larry Conway, Los Angeles; Ron Law, Montreal; Bob Fuhrmann, Los Angeles; Frank Smith, London, England; Al Lock and Joe Patane, Los Angeles. Kneeling are: Denny Bernier, Montreal; Mrs. Bonnie Lutz, Los Angeles; Ken Shaw, New York; John Scott, and Roy Ackroyd, Toronto; Mike Scullion and Bert Laing, Los Angeles. Missing was Harry Medensky, Toronto. |
