Our History

 
Back in the mid 1960’s, most Pass Bureau offices consisted of only one, sometimes two, employees. Every year, it seemed as though the -workload in most of the Pass Bureaus doubled. Staff members were on the phone daily to one another requesting company business passes. The telephone voices soon became familiar.

 

Mrs. Laura Williams, now retired, was in charge of Braniff’s Pass Bureau and had the idea that these tasks could be somewhat easier and certainly more pleasant, if all the voices could get together and talk over mutual problems.
 
Thus, in 1967 a small group of 17 Pass Bureau staff members representing Alaska Airlines, Allegheny, Braniff, Delta, Frontier, Hawaiian, Hughes Airwest, New York Helicopter, Northwest, Ozark, Piedmont, Reeve Aleutian, Republic, Texas International, Trans World Airlines, Western and Wien Air Alaska gathered in Dallas for lunch one Saturday, the sole purpose being that of putting faces with the voices they spoke to on a regular basis.
