COPY FORM 3 [[image - logo, 537]] Mr Gitt AIR LINE PILOTS ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONAL FROM MAURICE H. Schy PLACE Chicago TO Messrs. Sayen, Bennett, Lampe, Gates and Karr DATE June 22, 1950 ATTENTION REFERENCE SUBJECT D. W. RENTZEL v. W. W. COX AND D. W. RENTZEL vs C. W. JOHNSON Gentlemen: I am placing in our Reference File the Board's Opinion in these two safety cases for future use in defending License Revocation Cases. Following is a very brief summary of the Opinion. The Respondents took off simultaneously with DC-3's on intersecting runways. One of them was forced to make a left turn immediately upon leaving the ground in order to avoid a collision. They were charged with careless and reckless operation and the Hearing Examiner found each guilty and recommended a seven-day suspension of their Airmen's Certificates. Both filed Exceptions with the Board. The Board upheld the Examiner in his Finding that both airmen were guilty of careless and reckless operation but found further that in view of the fact that both are "mature and experienced pilots" and demonstrated "cooperative attitudes" the Public Interest did not require the suspension of their Airmen's Certificates. Very truly yours, AIR LINE PILOTS ASSOCIATION Maurice H. Schy Legal & Conciliation Department MHS/hb cc: M. A. Gitt. 🗸
