==== Part 20 · PDF page 29 · Bates DB Cooper-DB Cooper-5986 ====
@ | ® Qanuary [2, 1972
Dear Sth, eave
This is in regard to the "D.B. Cooper" case. You hae received by
now from Portland Office ) my offer to duplicate the junp a
from the 7276 . iu

D know of course you will weigh the facts and decide whether it will
be feasible and worthahile,

I would apprectate this opportunity to say why 9 think it might
be of help. In the first place it will prove within reasonable doubt —
whether "Cooper is alive or not", and by the way, 9 will sign a release
that the 989 or airlines will not be responsible for anything that
may happen to me, Also, the more facts you can accusilate from my jump
will help you in preventing future attempts, I've noticed recently that
the 747 Qunbo jet has a adequate exit door at the rear that clears the
tail- stabalizers and other obstacles. 9 hwe no idea how slow a 7X7
can be flown but who knows the possibilities of junping fron the 747 on
other geist "

I$ we were to duplicate "Coopers" jump, that is altitude, «peed,
flight plan, weather conditions, etc. it seems to me that this month
would be a good tine, ot Least for the sane temperatures and overcast,
Bebmuary is usually a Pain! but cold month, but March ould be a
possibility also. And if, we were to take off fron Seattle, fly to
10,000 ¢t., open the,rear door over Woodland and then see how Long 9
can stand that 7 degree temperature before 9 have to pump, this would
give you a fair idea of at Least where he might hae jusped. fly own
opinion as a jumper tells me he didn't jamp over Woodland because the
terrain is very bad for a daylight jump, and twice at hazardous at nite,

9 believe he fumed somewhere in the Willanette Valley, .

I would carry a C.BS, radio and other pertinent equip. for the junp
and 9 would make it as safe as possible,

Also there is another aspect of this jump and related activities that
may even draw Cooper into the open (even though he may have been disguised)
9D om taking in Portland from a a

lexggeated we onnange q demonstration before
ot after the jump, and when "Cooper" finds out who 9 an he may wen be there,
9 have arranged with a reporter from the Oregon Journal,
to publicize this juap 40 "Cooper" will be informed of tt, Me may be a Long
shot but what else have you got to go on? DB Cooper-5986
Well, thank you for your time and attention, 9 hope 9 may be of some

Re Sacramento teletype to Portland and Seattle,
11/30/71, and Seattle nitel to Portland and Sacramento,
12/30/71.

have been
interviewed at the St. Francis Hotel, Susanville, California.
Both persons stated that the man who was in the bar at the

St. Francis Cafe and at the State Cafe on the evening of
11/28/71 displaying a large number of bills and attempting

to get someone to drive him out of town departing in a white
sedan, but neither could establish the make or model estimating
about a 1965 Chevrolet. [advised the license number
was written down by an unrecalled bar patron and was handed

to him on a slip of paper.

The composite chatograph of unknown subject was
displayed to and both stated that the person
who they observed on the evening of 11/28/71 do not at all

resemble the composite. They both stated that the individual
they had been describing very much looked like an Indian
and was considerably heavier in his facial features.

UNSUB possibly was flashing a large amount of money
attempting to cause the other bar patron to believe
he was the UNSUB as the case had received considerable
press coverage in te area,

Inasmuch as composite does not resemble

JANUARY 1972

ALPA EXECUTIVE
BOARD MEETS

The Executive Board of the Assoc
iation resolved ot its 14th meeting
(Dec. 7+10) in Washington to register
"total opposition® to FAA's proposal
to impose responsibility for medical
certification and surveillance of flight
crew members upon the individuel oir
carriers. The Board directed the Aero«
medical-Flight Time/Duty Time Com-
mittee "to take any and all steps it
feels ore necessary to prevent the
adoption® of the proposal and instruct«
ed the Association's President to "pro-
Vide the necessary support and resoure
ces," ond including "if necessary" re«
convening the Executive Board for
consideration "of other appropriate
courses of action."

The Board, ofter lengthy discussion
concerning the Impact of the Aloha
arbitration award on ALPA's crew com=
plement policy, reaffirmed its "full
and vigorous support of the crew come

with the Nov. 23 orbitrotion award
(which it noted "applied ond interpret=
ed the Association's policy os being
founded on sofety os related to the
operating conditions and enviroment of
the carrier involved") and consistent
with past practice, the Boeing 737
crew complement policy is interpreted
to require "with the concurrence of
the Executive Committee and the Pre=
sident® that the MEC on each airline
Involved assess that airline's conditions
and enviromental factors "ond reach a
determination as to the bosis of imple-
mentation® of the crew complement

dent to "cause the Association to pro=

thet give full effect to such determi~

Finally, the Boord soid the Pre«

Other actions token by the Exe=

For the second time in less thon
a week a CAB heoring examiner sup~
ported a position long urged by ALPA
and recommended sweeping changes
in the lobor protective conditions tras
ditionally imposed in merger coses.
(PILOT BULLETIN, November, poge
1). In his recommended decision
opproving the Allegheny~Mohawk
merger, Examiner Merritt Ruhlen re-
jected the position of the carriers thet
the so-called "standard" provisions
first imposed in the United-Copital
merger case over a decade ago should
be imposed again without change,
Addressing himself directly to the
changes in the provisions recommended
by ALPA, Ruhlen wrote: "It is nee=
essary to consider the suggested
changes on their merits rather then to
rely on a decision of 10 years ago
made ina different economic climate
upon a different factual basis."
Ruhlen's recommended decision
'endorsed the following changes in the
stondard provisions urged by ALPA:

(1) A shifting of the burden of

. proof under the United-Capital for-

myla so thot a claiming employe would
be required to do nothing more than
show that a merger occurred and thet
his condition of employment chonged
adversely. Should the employer con-
tend that the change was the result of
some factor other than the merger, the
burden would be on the employer to
establish that contention through the
production of evidence. (Under the
United-Capital formula, an employe
must carry the virtually impossible
burden of showing thot his change in
employment was caused "solely" by
the merger and no other cause.)

(2) A change in the compensation
for a displaced employe to include
average compensation during the bose
period plus "subsequent wage increases"
for the duration of the protection per=
fod. (United-Copital excluded all
such increases.) ,

(3) A change iin the base period
used for determining average compen-

: ALLECUENY - MOHAWK LABOR (OTECTIVE
PROVISIONS RECOMMENDED

sation to the one-year period "imme=
diately prior to (the employes) dis-
plocement® rather than one year prior
to the merger os under the United
Capital provisions.

(4) An extension of the protec-
tive provisions' coverage to all em-
ployes whose job status may be changed
by o corrier's rearranging of its work
force in anticipation of o merger
regardless of the date on which such
a rearrangement actually takes place.

Examiner Ruhlen's decision is now
sybject to review and amendment by
the full CAB as well as final approval
by President Nixon before it may toke
effect. ALPA ottorneys hove filed
briefs in both the Delta-Northeast
ond Allegheny-Mohoewk merger cases
urging thot the specific differences of
the alteration in labor protective pro=
visions recommended by the two hear=
ing examiners be rationalized in such
a manner as fo preserve the most sub-=
stantial changes in the old and in-
adequate United-—Capital formula,

BOSTON PILOTS BRIEFED
ON BENEFITS

Pilot retirement and insurance
benefits was the subject of a presenta=
tion by ALPA's Retirement and {nsur=
ance Department in early December,
The purpose of the experimental pro=
gram wos to present directly to pilots
an onolysis of their benefits and op-
tions in both the retirement and Insur=
once creas,

Eastern pilots' benefits were cho~
sen for the anolysis and the presenta<
tion wos made at Boston's Logan Airs
port on Dec, 2-3 by ALPA Field Reps
resentative Rhoads Donovan ond Insur=
once Analyst Stuart Holl,

The program was a formal presens
tation by both representatives with the
help of visual aids that outlined the
Eastern Pilots' Fixed (A) ond Variable

'

(8) Retirement Benefit Plans and the
Group Insurance Program. Pilots were
encouraged to ask questions and forms
were provided for more detoiled prob-
lems that could be answered through
the Retirement and Insurance Depart~
ment at ALPA's Home Office in Wosh-
ington.

The experimental presentation wos
basically successful. One problem
area, however, was the fack of suffie
cient advance notice, which resulted
ina smoll ottendonce. Both represen-
tatives felt thot although attendance
was minimal, the information program
proved worthwhile ond wes well re-
ceived by the pilots who were able to
attend,

PILOTS SHOULD
SPECIFY PAYMENTS

Inasmuch as the new dues and in=
surance system hos billed both 1972
dyes and {nsurance, when remitting
your payment please ollocote your
remittance to dues and/or insurance
in the space provided on the remit=
tance stub. Should such an allocation
be omitted, your remittance will be
alloceted by the computer.
