Send us a textIn this episode we learn about the life of "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry, who was a pilot for Pan Am from 1945 to 1948. Then we will be joined by a very special guest, George Takei, a legendary actor, NY Times Best Selling author, and activist. He knew “Star Trek” creator and Pan Am pilot Gene Roddenberry well for over 25 years playing Mr. Sulu in the 1966 television show “Star Trek” and six subsequent feature films. George will share his personal insights into the Roddenberry philosophy, memories of living in a Japanese American internment camp during World War II, working in Hollywood as an actor, and how he became a pop culture icon. His latest book, Rhymes With Takei, will be released on June 17, 2025 and can be pre-ordered. In the early hours of June 19, 1947, Pan Am Clipper Eclipse, a Lockheed L-049 Constellation, crashed in the Syrian desert killing 15 people. Third Officer Gene Roddenberry was traveling as a passenger and became the senior officer after the flight crew was killed. He took charge of the crash site, organized and helped survivors, and sought help. After they were rescued, he decided he didn't want to fly anymore and resigned from Pan Am almost a year later on May 15, 1948 to pursue his dream of writing, particularly for the new medium of television. For more information on Roddenberry's life, we encourage you to read Star Trek Creator: The Authorized Biography of Gene Roddenberry by David Alexander. The audio clips of Roddenberry used in this episode are from a rare 1988 interview.Support the show Visit Us for more Pan Am History! Support the Podcast! Donate to the Museum!

Send us a textIn this episode we explore the first transatlantic passenger flights of Pan Am's Boeing 314 flying boats in the late 1930s and we welcome back to the program Pan Am flight attendant and author Becky Sprecher who will share her insights -and family history– of these flying clippers!Becky was our guest in Episode 7: Flying the Line and Episode 29 AIDS Epidemic of the 1980s, Remembering Those We Lost. To learn more about Pan Am's flying boats, listen to Episode 3: Flying Boats, Irish Coffee, and a Hollywood Star and Episode 8: A Lifetime of Romantic Adventure... From Flying Boats to Jumbo Jets after listening to this installment. On March 29, 1939, the Yankee Clipper made history and took off from Baltimore to Europe under the command of Captain Harold Gray. On this inspection flight, the clipper traveled to the Azores, Lisbon, Marseilles, Southampton, and Foynes and back. On June 17, 1939, Pan American arranged for a special flight for 16 members of the press departing from Port Washington on the Atlantic Clipper; a brilliant marketing and public relations strategy for the airline. This press flight is historically and culturally significant because the radio reporters on board reported live at an altitude of 10,000 feet over the Atlantic Ocean to listeners all over the country tuned into their radio sets with great interest.The cost for a one-way ticket to Europe was $375 (that's about $8,500 in 2024 money adjusted for inflation) or $675 roundtrip (which is over $15,000 today).There are no original Boeing 314 flying boats in existence today. However, the Foynes Flying Boat Museum in Foynes, Ireland ahs an impressive full-scale replica of the Yankee Clipper you can tour with every detail accurately recreated.

Send us a Text Message.In this episode we celebrate the Archer's...a family of aviators. 89-year-old Pan Am Captain Stu Archer joined the airline in 1965 as an engineer after serving in the U.S. Air Force. Stu began flying the 727 and then was promoted to captain on the 747 and later Airbus A300 and A310. He stayed with Pan Am until 1991 and then went on to work for Delta Air Lines as a captain. When he reached the then mandatory retirement age of 60 after three years as a Delta captain, he successful took the company to court forcing the airline to keep him as an engineer and worked for another seven years before retiring in 2000. Many credit his lawsuit as one of the reasons the mandatory age was raised to 65. Stu credits his uncle, Lawerence Archer, as his aviation inspiration. Born in 1903, Lawerence was one of the early pilots trained by the Wright Brothers and was the first person to deliver mail by air in New England. Uncle Lawerence took Stu on his very first flight in a single engine, open air cockpit bi-wing plane when he was six years old and this forever changed the trajectory of his life. Lawerence Archer gave his life in service to his country in 1945 during World War II serving in the U.S. Army Air Corps. Stu's daughter Deborah Archer joined Pan Am as a flight attendant in 1979 and worked for the airline until the end in 1991. Afterward, she hung up her wing and became a nurse. She sadly passed away in 2009. Stu's son, Captain Jeffery Archer followed in his father's footsteps and became a pilot for American Airlines in 1991 and became captain in 1995. And now his grandson, Stephen Archer, Jeffery's son, carries on the family legacy started by his great-uncle and was recently been promoted to Captain with Envoy Air, a subsidiary of American Airlines. All three of these captains will be joining us to talk about their passion for flying and careers in aviation.A special thank you to American Airlines for allowing Jeff and Stephen to participate in this interview. If you are thinking about starting a career in aviation and want to be a pilot for American Airlines, visit the AA Cadet Academy. The Pan Am Museum also encourages you to visit the American Airlines CR Smith Museum in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

Ja ja, die rally van Gamestop is alweer over. En die van AMC ook. Maar topman Adam Aron van AMC heeft flink gecasht met een aandeelprijs die deze week even puur uit lucht bestond. Je kent het riedeltje: begin 2021 wisten beleggers van Reddit een paar grote fondsen enorm dwars te zitten doordat hun aanvoerder genaamd 'DeepFuckingValue' inzag dat die fondsen wel érg veel shortposities hadden ingenomen jegens met name Gamestop. Miljoenen beleggers van het forum Wall Street Bets doken erop en veroorzaakten een zogeheten short squeeze door massaal de aandelen in te kopen en de fondsen zo te dwingen om hun posities te ontmantelen. Met miljardenverliezen als gevolg. Begin deze week stuurde de man achter de rally, ook bekend als 'Roaring Kitty' op Twitter en YouTube, een paar vage tweets waar zo'n beetje uit zou blijken dat er weer sprake is van zo'n situatie. Dat bleek niet helemaal waar, maar dat maakte zijn volgers niet uit. Opnieuw ontstond er een rally in 'meme-aandelen' zoals Gamestop en ook AMC, gebaseerd op niets anders dan een paar plaatjes en filmpjes op Twitter. AMC is de interessantere van de twee. De grootste bioscoopketen in de VS en Europa overleefde de coronacrisis vanwege het Reddit-fenomeen en draait nog altijd vooral op het ophalen van geld via mensen die blind geloven in het aandeel. Het aandeel is dan ook al 13(!) keer verwaterd sinds het begin van de coronacrisis. Vrij vertaald: er staan nu 13 keer zoveel aandelen uit, terwijl het bedrijf nog altijd dezelfde waarde heeft. Er was zelfs een omgekeerde split nodig om het aantal aandelen niet uit te laten komen op 2.5 miljard stuks, maar slechts 250 miljoen. Op dinsdag zag topman Adam Aron, beter bekend als 'The Silverback', dat de rally nog wel even doorging. Hij had vlak voor de rally al een slordige 250 miljoen dollar opgehaald tegen een aandeelprijs van gemiddeld 3.5 dollar. Maar men moet geld ophalen als de zon schijnt, dus wisselde hij ad hoc op een dinsdag nog even 165 miljoen dollar aan leningen om in aandelen. Dat is voordelig: als de aandeelprijs door een rare rally opeens flink hoog staat, hoef je je leners minder aandelen aan te bieden om die 165 miljoen dollar aan schuld weg te strepen. Zij verkopen die vervolgens waarschijnlijk meteen, zodat jij van je lening af bent en zij eieren voor hun geld hebben gekregen. Het is nog niet helemaal duidelijk welke leners op welke manier hun schuld hebben ingewisseld. Maar het is een feit dat AMC 165 miljoen dollar aan schuld heeft weten af te kopen door aandelen aan te bieden voor een gemiddelde prijs van 7.33 euro. Adam Aron van AMC heeft dus op een slimme wijze zijn schuld verminderd door in te cashen op een rally die op totale nonsens was gebaseerd. Tja! Meme-aandeel of niet: dat zijn wel zetten. De zelfbenoemde apen van Reddit mogen trots zijn op hun zilverrug. Beursnerd en Beursnerd XL Iedere werkdag iets na elf uur werpt de Beursnerd in gesprek met presentator Thomas van Zijl een blik op de AEX, waarbij hij of zij de diepgang niet schuwt. Daarnaast is er donderdag om tien voor twaalf een langere beursanalyse. Die neemt Beursnerd XL Jochem Visser voor zijn rekening.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a Text Message.The Pan Am Museum Foundation recognizes the month of May as Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and in this episode we explore the history of Pan Am's “Nisei” Stewardesses with Dr. Christine R. Yano, retired professor of anthropology at the University of Hawai'I and author of the book, Airbourne Dreams: “Nisei” Stewardesses and Pan American World Airways.This book is the story of an unusual personnel program implemented by an American corporation intent on expanding and dominating the nascent market for international air travel. That program reflected the Jet Age dreams of global mobility that excited postwar Americans, as well as the inequalities of gender, class, race, and ethnicity that constrained many of them.The Japanese word “Nisei” means second generation Japanese American. In 1955, Pan Am began recruiting Japanese American women to work as stewardesses on its Tokyo-bound flights and for the airline's celebrated round-the-world flights. Based in Honolulu, these women were informally known as Pan Am's “Nisei” stewardesses, even though not all of them were Japanese American or even second-generation. They were hired for their Japanese-language skills, but in reality…few spoke Japanese fluently.However, the main reason for the hiring of these women was to enhance the airline's image of exotic cosmopolitanism and worldliness as the iconic American company pioneered new frontiers of race, language, and culture. These young women left home to travel the globe with Pan Am, forging their own cosmopolitan identities in the process.In 2014, Chantelle Rose Acorda, Kim Nguyen, and Jasmine Pigford made a well-done student film and interviewed Hawaii state senator Glenn S. Wakai and Pan Am veterans Ailenn Sodetani and Mae Takahashi. The Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaii produced a short educational film, Pan Am Ambassadors, with interviews of Pan Am "Nisei" stewardesses. Support the Show. Visit Us for more Pan Am History!

Based on the earnings call held by AMC Entertainment Holdings on Wednesday, February 28th 2024, the company's CEO, Adam Aron, conveyed to investors that AMC Entertainment manifested measurable operational and financial growth in 2023. This was interpreted as a successful stride towards recovering in a landscape still influenced by the effects of the global pandemic. Four key points emerged from close examination of this earnings call: Financial Performance: In terms of financial indicators like revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted earnings per share, 2023 brought an encouraging rise, surpassing predictions. Global attendance statistics and annual revenues as well mirrored this growth, with the company reporting the highest level of adjusted EBITDA in four years. These accomplishments are reflective of how AMC Entertainment managed to bounce back and retrieve its financial standing. Strategies for Success: AMC Entertainment works on various strategic fronts to secure its financial growth. They have been successful in augmenting high-margin sales of food, beverages, and merchandise; refining their theater network, and concentrating on offerings of premium large-format. Added to this, they ventured into the realm of concert movie distribution, which reportedly supplemented revenue growth and market share gains. Such initiatives underline the company's ability to flexibly adapt and drive innovation in response to evolving consumer preferences. Consumer Trends: Despite setbacks such as Hollywood strikes, the company acknowledged consumer trends that display a continuing affinity toward theaters, especially when there is a sizable release of high-quality films. Referring to these setbacks, Aron mentioned, "Quite frankly, 2023 did not live up to its full potential..." However, the company expects a more vigorous box office performance in late 2024 and 2025 as previously delayed movie titles are set to be on screen. Having insights about these consumer behaviors can be crucial for formulating efficient business strategies and making well-informed investment decisions. Future Plans and Investments: AMC Entertainment's future strategy involves concentrating on reducing debt, extending debt maturities, and strengthening their balance sheet to guarantee liquidity during recovery and potential challenges. They are considering exploring growth opportunities through capital-light diversification, enhancing loyalty programs, and potential investment in premium large-format screens. Such strategic efforts fall in line with the company's objective of maintaining financial stability while simultaneously engaging customers, an approach expected to push future growth. In concluding, it is appropriate to remark that AMC Entertainment's earnings call portrays a company that has resiliently worked its way out of pandemic-induced hardship. By focusing on strong financial performance, incorporating strategic initiatives, making sense of consumer behavior, and planning sound future investments, the company has offered a broad picture of its current standing and possible future trajectory. This analysis does not promise an unduly rosy future, but it reminds us of AMC Entertainment's resilience and adaptability faced with adversity, as stated and acknowledged in its own account during the earnings call.

Busy scientist Adam Aron had too much on his plate to think deeply about climate change - until he read a scary report about what lay in store for the planet if no one acted to cut greenhouse gases. So Adam did more and more to fight climate change, until activism became his full time occupation. And the move made him happier and more content. We can't all give up our normal lives to stop global heating - but even making small contributions to the cause can make us feel more connected, more fulfilled and happier.

Skirting the trouble zone and watching for enemy aircraft, he headed the flying boat west over Australia, India and Central Africa, then crossed to South America, eventually making a safe landing at the Marine Terminal at what is now La Guardia Airport in New York on Jan. 6, 1942.The entire trip covered 31,500 miles in 209.5 hours of flying time, some of it over war territory. The Clipper had a range of 4,500 miles, and its longest single flight was 3,583 miles across the South Atlantic from Central Africa, to Brazil. Captain Ford, who was then 35 at the time, called his round-the-world flight "a purely routine operation."Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1906, Captain Robert Ford earned his wings as a naval aviator before joining Pan American Airways in 1933. He flew Pan Am's routes in Central and South American, as well as, the Caribbean before transferring to the Atlantic division in 1939, flying Clippers between New York and Lisbon. He shifted to the Pacific route in July 1941. Before his round-the-globe journey, he had completed some 50 flights across the two oceans.After retiring in 1952 from Pan Am, Captain Ford became a cattle rancher in Penn Valley, California, north of Sacramento. He died in October of 1994 at the age of 88. At the time of his death, he had been a rancher for 45 years.Special thanks to Captain John Marshall, board member of the Pan Am Museum Foundation, for allowing this program to use his 1994 interview with Captain Ford. --------------------Visit Us for more Pan Am History!

In this episode we are joined by Nell McShane Wulfhart, author of the book The Great Stewardess Rebellion: How Women Launched a Workplace Revolution at 30,000 Feet.Nell is a frequent contributor to the New York Times travel section and wrote the column “Carry On” from 2016 to 2019. She has written for Travel + Leisure, Bon Appétit, Condé Nast Traveler, The Wall Street Journal Magazine, and T Magazine. She is also the author of the Audible Original Off Menu.Her recent work, The Great Stewardess Rebellion: How Women Launched a Workplace Revolution at 30,000 Feet, is a book about how as travel in the jet age became more and more popular in the 1960s, women from across America applied for jobs as stewardesses.They were drawn to the promise of glamour, the chance to travel, and as an alternative to traditional occupations for women of this time period like homemaking, nursing, and teaching. But as the number of stewardesses grew, so did their suspicion that the job was not as picture-perfect as the ads would have them believe, including some of their supervisors spying on their personal lives (thankfully this was not the practice of Pan Am or TWA). These women had to adhere to strict weight limits at all times. If they gained a few extra pounds, they were suspended from work. For many airlines, stewardesses couldn't marry or have children or risk losing their employment. Requirements for hair styles and makeup had to be followed and was strictly enforced and girdles were mandatory at all times. It was also common for most domestic airlines that stewardesses had to resign by age 32.In the latter half of the 1960s, stewardesses began to push back against their employers creating an employment movement that changed the industry. Nell Mchane Wulfhart crafts a rousing narrative of female empowerment, the paradigm-shifting 1960s and 1970s, the labor movement, and the cadre of gutsy women who fought for their rights and won. Gloria Steinem said of Nell's book, “the true story of women who stood up to huge corporations and won, creating momentous change for all working women.”The Pan Am Museum's high school intern Michael Gentner assisted with this interview as guest co-host. --------------------Visit Us for more Pan Am History!

Adam Aron is a Professor in the Psychology Dept at UC San Diego. His research and teaching focus on the social science of collective action on the climate crisis. His climate activism has been through the Green New Deal at UC San Diego where he has worked on several campaigns such as fossil fuel divestment and also campus decarbonization via ElectrifyUC and he has also produced the documentary Coming Clean. Before switching to the climate crisis, Adam had a successful career in cognitive neuroscience. He earned his PhD from the University of Cambridge, and was a postdoctoral fellow at UCLA.“Psychology has something to tell us about why so few people are really engaged in the climate struggle. There are different components to this. First of all, there is what I call epistemic skepticism in the book, which is to say, skepticism about the facts of climate change. The second thing is threat perception, that threat levels are not as high as they should be. And the third is that people are skeptical about the response. They don't think that they can do anything, or they don't believe that groups or even countries can make a difference. Epistemic skepticism: psychologically this means that quite a lot of people, for example, the United States, don't believe in the human cause of heating. And the reason for that is very much to do in fact, with the systematic campaign of misinformation that's been fostered by the fossils industry, systematically set out to confuse people about the scientific consensus. We should be very threatened by this. In fact, the youth, generally speaking, are anxious to some extent about it. In effect, Mother Earth is saying, "I can't deal with what you're doing to me, people. I'm putting up my temperature." And if you're not feeling anxious, then you're not paying attention. That's the right way to feel on Planet Earth.”https://aronlab.org/climate-psychology-and-action-labhttps://ucsdgreennewdeal.nethttps://electrifyuc.org/www.youtube.com/watch?v=1N_dq9J7mDYJudith Butler on “Speaking Out of Place”: “In this work we see how every critical analysis of homelessness, displacement, internment, violence, and exploitation is countered by emergent and intensifying social movements that move beyond national borders to the ideal of a planetary alliance.

In this episode we are joined by 99-year-old Lester Kappel. He worked for Pan Am during World War II beginning in early 1942 until mid 1946. He was stationed for the majority of World War II in Casablanca with the African-Orient division of Pan Am under the Air Transport Command. Lester provides a unique perspective of what it was like to be working for the airline during wartime in support of Allied forces that utilized Pan Am's vast global network and resources making it a vital lifeline of resupply. He began his time with Pan Am as one of the airline's esteemed mechanics and worked exclusively in 1942 on the celebrated Boeing B-314 Flying Boats and then later expanded his skills during the war to the engines of land-based planes. Lester was at the airport and saw President Franklin D. Roosevelt's plane when he came to Casablanca in January of 1943 to meet with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Watch the Pan Am 1945 post-war film called, Clippers at War, to learn more about the airline's contribution to the war effort: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvElNiAsC_YAfter leaving Pan Am after the war, Lester Kappel worked in the family printing business for 30 years, while also serving as a volunteer firefighter on Long Island beginning in 1958.In the 1980s, he sold the company and began working for the local library where he worked for over 30 years up until recently. During Hurricane Sandy in 2012, Lester literally did not stop helping his Long Island neighbors until he was dehydrated and had to be taken to the hospital.Today, Lester is revered by family, friends, library patrons, and firefighters alike.

In today's episode of “Speaking Out of Place” we talk with Professor Adam Aron, author of the book, “The Climate Crisis: Science, Impacts, Policy, Psychology, Justice, Social Movements.”As the title of the book indicates, it is a systematic and thorough discussion of not simply the Climate Crisis, but also, and very importantly, all the key elements we need to know about to do effective activism to save our planet.I speak with Adam first about the fact that science has shown that we are at a tipping point in the climate crisis—a point of no return. After that, we explore the psychological responses to that science, and how we might work toward changing our individual, collective, national, and international behaviors and actions to address the accelerating climate crisis.Adam is a Professor in the Psychology Dept at UC San Diego. His research and teaching focus on the social science of collective action on the climate crisis. His climate activism has been through the Green New Deal at UC San Diego where he has worked on several campaigns such as fossil fuel divestment and also campus decarbonization via ElectrifyUC and he has also produced the documentary Coming Clean. Before switching to the climate crisis, Adam had a successful career in cognitive neuroscience. He earned his PhD from the University of Cambridge, and was a postdoctoral fellow at UCLA.
In this episode we are joined by legendary journalist Sam Donaldson where we will talking about traveling with Pan Am on assignment, covering presidents as White House correspondent, tracking down a Nazi war criminal, deregulation of the airlines, and everything in between. He is best known for his distinguished 52 year career at ABC News, where he covered stories and conducted investigations of national and international interest. In 1977, he was assigned the coveted White House Correspondent assignment for ABC News, a post he would hold for the duration of the Carter and Reagan administrations. He would later return as ABC's White House Correspondent for much of the Clinton Administration in the 1990s.This episode is an indirect follow up to Episode 21: White House Press Charters and Flying with Air Force One where we explored Pan Am's historic supporting role with presidential travel. In that episode we were joined by Dwight Chapin, a trusted aide to President Richard M. Nixon and Pan Am veterans: flight attendant Claire Graham and Captain John Marshall.Sam Donaldson was a frequent passenger on Pan Am's White House Press Charters during the Carter, Reagan, and Bush administrations.In 1994, his Primetime Live segment on Erich Priebke, a former Nazi SS officer, set off a chain of events that ended with Priebke being arrested and convicted for war crimes and given a life sentence in prison. Remarkably, Priebke was living in Argentina out in the open for many years and admitted to most of his crimes on camera during Sam's interview.To learn more about this incredible interview that includes interviews with Sam Donaldson, ABC News producer Harry Phillips, and researcher Dalia Herbst, watch this segment of the television program Nazi Hunters.Visit Us for more Pan Am History!

In this episode we are joined by Barbara Morris Wood and Karen Wallin Usas. Barbara will be celebrating her 100th birthday on September 13, 2022! A very special early happy birthday greeting from all of us here at the Pan Am Museum! Barbara worked for Pan Am for five years between 1944 and 1949. Her time at Pan Am, while short, was nothing short of exceptional as she pioneered a path for women to move up the ranks of the airline. She became the first woman to work the ticket counter and Barbara's can-do spirit never waned. After recognizing other inequalities, she acted on them, bringing benefits to the airline industry many still enjoy today. If you ever worked for an airline and enjoyed flight benefits, you have Barbara to thank! While at Pan Am, Barbara thought it was unfair that only company executives and flight crews had travel benefits with the airline. She wrote a convincing letter to management and advocated that all Pan Am employees regardless of position, including ticket counter, catering, and maintenance employees, should have all the same rights and flying benefits as everyone else. The airline quickly agreed and expanded company travel benefits to all employees. This also set the employee flight benefit expectation in the aviation industry and other airlines followed Pan Am's lead.During the end of World War II, Barbara was tasked with interviewing men returning from the war for jobs within the airline. In this capacity, Barbara would meet and hire her future husband, Ernie Wood, – remarking that he was not like the rest of the interviewees – and even called him weird. Nonetheless, the spark of romance and adventure was in the air and the two started dating a little bit afterward. At their wedding in Damascus, Syria, Barbara and Ernie would be surrounded by Pan Am employees in a faraway land, truly a reflection on the rest of their lives. As a young woman starting out with Pan Am, never having left New England before, the company was the catalyst that would change her life forever. With Pan Am she met life-long friends, and her husband who went on to work for the company for 31 years after Barbara hired him. Karen Wallin Usas joined Pan Am as a flight attendant in 1970. She originally went to school to be a teacher, but a chance encounter with a flight attendant at a wedding intrigued her to apply to Pan Am and change direction in her career plans. Karen grew up in LaGrange, Illinois, a Chicago suburb and graduated from University of Illinois, Urbana in 1969 with a degree in Education. As a young airline employee, the world was within her reach and Karen was able to travel to many exotic places that before she could only read and dream about. For ten years between 1970 and 1980, Karen always felt comfortable in foreign lands with Pan Am and the excitement of adventure from those times has never waned. And when she looks back on the fond memories of her flying days…traveling the world with co-workers and her husband…it always brings a big smile and a deep sense of pride.After Pan Am, she taught in many capacities and currently serves as a docent at the Rhode Island School of Design.Barbara and Karen both live in Rhode Island and are neighbors and have become close friends. --------------------A very special thanks to Mr. Adam Aron, Chairman and CEO of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., and Pan Am Brands for their continued and unwavering support!

In this special episode we are joined by Max Gurney, who will celebrate his 101st birthday on June 10, 2022! The Pan Am Museum and the entire worldwide Pan Am community wish him the happiest of birthdays! Max is a 45-year veteran of Pan Am and a living legend within the airline community. He is also the godfather to His Serine Highness, Prince Albert II of Monaco. Max was kind enough to invite host Tom Betti into his home for a chat.He tells us about his childhood, serving in the U.S. Army under General Patton during World War II, and then beginning his storied career at Pan Am after the war. Max Gurney joined Pan American Airways in 1946 as a ticket counter agent at the Marine Terminal at La Guardia Airport, located in Flushing, New York. Because of his ability to speak four languages, he was quickly promoted to Sales Manager in Dakar, Senegal with jurisdiction over five countries in West Africa.In 1949, Max opened the Pan Am office in Milan, and was reassigned shortly after in 1950 to Beirut as Sales Manager on loan to Middle East Airlines (MEA), as part of a management contract with Pan Am. He was responsible for airline operations in six Middle East countries including Saudi Arabia.In 1951, he was appointed Assistant District Sales Manager in Rome, Italy covering six countries, and then transitioned in 1957 to Senior Representative and District Sales Manager for Southern France based in Nice where he formed a very close personal friendship with Monaco's Prince Rainier III and his wife, Princess Grace, the former American actress Grace Kelly. Their friendship grew so close that when their son Prince Albert was born, the Prince and Princess asked Max to be the child's godfather.In 1972, Max was transferred to Nassau as Managing Director for the Bahamas, including the Freeport and Rock Sound stations, until the Bahamas offices were closed in 1976. He subsequently became District Traffic and Sales Manager in Oslo, Norway until 1980, and then once again returned to Monaco as Pan Am Sales Manager. This was because of his close personal friendship with Prince Rainier and Princess Grace.He held this position until the closure of Pan Am in 1991 and assisted with the transition to Pan Am's successor in the market.--------------------Visit Us for more Pan Am History!
