: Hello fella's I carn't help noticing you
: aren't very helpful to the QST people are
: wanting to know. Being a PAN AM pilot as Ken
: Baker states you should know the history of
: your airline being a pilot buddy boy. As for
: Mark Burmedze who gets his info from his
: Univirsity and the PAN AM data records. It;s
: not all the records you have or the history
: of PAN AM and on these pages you state you
: worked for Continental Airlines in past
: years. I have done some research and being
: in Continental airlines Recruitment area we
: cannot find you on the data going back to
: 1970's?? Now Ken Baker being a sponsor of
: this web site you should have much knowledge
: of this great airline you worked for which
: went belly up because of your Boss Juan T
: Trippe who crippled the airline from the
: start. So it looks like you have either lost
: your touge or don't know a great deal about
: the history of PAN AM I would suggest to
: many people to go to PAN AM.ORG web site to
: get the real info and email to the site
: owners who can really help you out. Thank
: you.

: I beleive you should review the PanAm.org
: website one more time. The history of Pan
: American Airways is inextricably linked to
: the expansive vision and singular effort of
: one man - Juan Trippe. He was one of the
: great leaders of the American airline
: industry for forty years and his inovations
: lead to the first commercial air service
: across the Pacific to Asia and South Pacific
: in 1935, and the Atlantic in the 1939. He
: was the first airline CEO to order airplanes
: to specific specifications; the Sikorsky-42
: (1931), the Martin 130 (China Clipper)
: (1933)the Boeing 314 (1936). Pan Am was the
: first, through his leadership, to introduce
: commercial jet service to Americans (1958);
: the Boeing 707 and DC 8. Boeing built the
: B-747 (1969) on Juan Trippe's request and
: hand shake. Pan Am purchased the first 33
: B-747 aircraft and eventually a fleet of
: over sixty. Today, the worlds airlines
: industry has benefited from many ideas and
: inovations Juan Trippe incorporated into Pan
: Am (Air to ground radio communication for
: one). I could go on and on about Juan Trippe
: and his visionary ideas but I think you
: realize by now your comments were out of
: place and incorrect.

: Hi Ken Baker I have read your comments and you are right to a point. If you go back to the early years and read over the PAN AM data you will fined that Juan Trippe who i can say was a great man as you state but he brought PAN AM to the end weather you egnore or chosse to agree being a former PAA pilot or not. He got the airline in to debit soon after he ordered the 33 747;s yet going back to the history only 25 were delivered on time and the remaining five were stored in the desert for a number of months or years and never entered there first paid flights with PAN AM he couldn't afford the planes. Secondly they were leased or sold to other carriers. Also you look at the 747sp21 jets he brought. They wern't actually owned at all by PAN AM they were leased and brought later seven of those the remaining fleet when sold to UAL were paid out by that airline at a cheap price to the finance companies. Another data entry into PAN AM RECORDS WHICH I MIGHT ADD IS ON FILE! N748PA Clipper Crest Of The Wave N749PA Clipper Dashing Wave two of many 747s that were scrapped weren't owned by PAN AM as they were under leasing finacial arrangements so the list goes on. "READ ALL ABOUT IT KEN BAKER" Yes well done Juan Trippe with a hand shake you did remarkably well and changed the avation jet age era but at the same time he dug a big whole or a grave for his airline and staff who went down which could have being prevented and i happen to be one of many who worked for PAN AM and our boss. But look what happen to us all did we get a golden hand shake. I don't know if you did KEN but we sure didn't nor a pay out from the fallen Queen of the skies. Thank you
