ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY

The Emergency Board was established by Executive Order 10919 of February 17, 1961 as a result of the dispute over the terms of a new contract between the Pan American World Airways, Inc. and the Flight Engineers International Associ-ation.
The union submitted proposals for a reduction of flight time hours, increased pay, and additional furlough pay. These demands, which would have necessitated the employment of additional flight engineers at considerable company expense, came at a time when the composition of the cockpit crew was under fire in the airline industry (crew composition controversy). The controversy was one of representation of the flight engineer by either FEIA of ALPA, brought to a head by the National Mediation Board's decision re: United Airlines in favor of unilateral representation by the ALPA (Air Line Pilots Association) . As a result of the aforesaid, a presidential commission was established to Investigate this industry wide controversy.
Emergency Board No. 135 was chaired by G. Allan Dash and had as members Arthur Stark and Edward A. Lynch. The board conducted proceedings from April 2k to June 8, 1961, running concurrently, incidentally, with those of the presidential commission,
