European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - November 25, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Wednesday november 25, 1987 the stars and stripes Art slanders Page 11 letters dear Ann Landers i appreciate your letting me Sec some of the letters from Reader who take Issue with my answer about the Quality of re circulated air on commercial aircraft. . Commercial airlines carry about 400 million passengers a year. My airline alone has 2,000mights a Day using 400 aircraft. With that Many people Hying that often i suppose we could de Bate this subject forever. I can t speak for other airlines but at american the air is treated and re circulated and studies show that it is at least As Clear in air in a Raj Taurand or any other Public place. Air inside an air plane in t perfect but we and air Craft manufacturers Are doing our Best to protect the health and Comfort of our passengers. After All it s in our own Best interest to keep our customers Comfort Able and Safe. . Crandall chairman and president american airline Dew or. Crandall the null on this subject has been incredible my desk could t handle it. We now have bundles on the outdo Qiliu. Mere is a Sample dear Ann Landers the National Academy of sciences recently found that airlines Are reducing fresh air to conserve fuel and that smoke and other contaminants in the Cabin environment frequently cause dry nasal passages head aches and other discomforts and Are potential hazards to the health of airline Crews and  the Academy cited one Case where 72 percent of the passengers probably caught the flu from one sick per son during a ground delay and made recommendations to prevent viral contamination such As increased ventilation on crowded aircraft and the use of special re circulation filters. As the nation s largest flight attendant Union we believe passengers made sick on planes deserve clean air not hot air from airline officials. Susan Bianchi Sand president association of flight attendants dear Ann Landers when i read the letter from constant Reader about respiratory infections on air planes i had to write. My daughter is a flight attendant with a major air line. She frequently butlers from respiratory infections after Long flights. Recently she mentioned this to a Pilot Friend and was told that they routinely limit these of air ventilation equipment to Cut costs. Since the airline does t care about its passengers i should at least try to keep it employees healthy. Please Don t use my name or town. My daughter needs her Job. Concerned mom dear Ann Landers As an airline Pilot with a major . Airline who has had 35 years experience including Over 15,000 hours in High Altitude Jet aircraft i feel qualified to get into the stale air conflict raging in your column. Your source or.  Crandall president of Ameri can airlines is absolutely Correct about the Exchange of air in the Cabin. In fact the time it lakes to recirculate is less than every two minutes. The mechanism actually there Are two is called an air conditioning pack and is used to provide fresh air conditioned pressurized air to the flight deck and passenger  packs Are complicated in their design and function but nevertheless extremely reliable and efficient. I Hope my letter will put this Chestnut to bed. I read your column daily Ana you Seldom err. In this in stance you were right on target. I too believe that constant Reader picked up a Bug while on vacation. I m a Pilot in Connecticut Reader also considers candidates spouses when the presidential ballot for 1988 comes around i m going to make my decision based not Only on the candidate and his views and values but on his spouse and her values views and ambitions. A spouse can radically transform our Leader s position because of the influence she has Over his personal Well being. A Good example is mrs. Reagan s influence Over our commander a chief hence the departure of Donald Regan Richard Allen James Watt and Helen von Damm. A spouse also establishes a glimpse into the Candi Date s personality. Today America s voting families consist More and More of working couples. They realize the presidency not a similar to marriage is a partnership and includes teamwork. I believe that America like me is looking at the team not a single candidate when it comes to elections. So let s look at the hopefuls. Secretaries or supporters just who is running for first lady no gents sorry or. Schroeder Elizabeth Dole Republican. Gave up her Cabinet position of transportation Secretary to fully support her husband s Campaign. This shows much Dedica Tion but once her husband is in office will she try to convince him to appoint her to another Cabinet Posi Tion maybe even a running mate debt Robertson Republican. Wishes to maintain the traditional role Model of wife supporter. She also seeks establishing organizations for single parents. Joanne Kemp Republican. Extremely influential and motivating in the area of International human rights causes. Jackie Jackson Democrat. She is an activist like her husband in civil rights causes also a powerful speaker. Jane Gephardt Democrat. Wishes to focus on fam ily issues tuning in on poverty and organizations for those families seeking assistance. She argues that mrs. Reagan s Campaign should not Only say in Lod rugs but should enhance saying yes to life Kitty Dukakis Democrat. Highly controversial Issue on her 26-year addiction to diet pills. She seeks Home less and refugee issues and is influencing her husband 19 reappoint her to the National holocaust commis Sion. Barbara flush Republican. Plans to continue fight ing adult illiteracy and supporting organizations lha assist in this area. Tipper h re Democrat. Plans on battling lurid sex violence and working on family issues. She has been establishing a Campaign against record establishment fight Tilp casual i muck Rilius Gimp hic Viu Lenic in music movies and television. Her Mission is to get the message out of the evils in inc entertain ment Media. Patricia Laig Republican. Works in her husband s business consultation and has t really picked an projects but is campaigning for her husband. Lla tie Babbitt do moral. A trial attorney focus ing on children s issues mainly literacy and Day care centers and their standards. Elisc do i on Republican. Also a lawyer she is a former congressional candidate and foreign Aid administrator. Jeanne Simon Democrat. Another lawyer plans to be ombudsman an individual who investigates reported complaints reports the findings and assists in achieving settlements. There you have it folks first lady candidates for 1988 so far. Who would you have influence your Leader in a Lime of crisis his values and decisions whom would you want standing behind our com Mander in chief senior airman Rebecca a. Skillern Raf upper i icy Ford England let Greenpeace protest in Russia says Reader Miles from .  if the russians fired these missiles from Over Alaska toward Canada you people arc going to be in serious hurting status. It seems All you peace groups always protest and bad Mouth America because she has chosen to increase her defense spending and test her systems. I can t recall you people protesting to the soviet Union for their vast spending on their testing of weapons systems. I really wish you people would Load up and go to Russia and protest for awhile. After spending time in a soviet prison you May not be so Quick to bad Mouth America. And face the facts Greenpeace when the War starts it s going to be russian cruise missiles that strike your Home town and make you glow in the dark not Ameri can cruise missiles. Jim Riner in Ciurlik Turkey i read in a recent stars and stripes about Green peace complaining about the United states testing cruise missiles. They said it dovetails the negotiations Between the United states and soviet Union on form ing an inf treaty. Then i read another later article by Dean Fosdick about Bear Hunting american f-l5s intersecting soviet air Craft flying near Alaska. Fosdick reported that these air Craft Tu-95 bears have been overhauled to carry ground skimming cruise missiles instead of  of Greenpeace now that you be bad Mouth cd America about cruise missiles let s hear you talk about the russians. Surely you people know that with these missiles the russians can strike cities deep inside Canada As Well As american soil. Fosdick reported that with these mis Siles the russians could strike targets at least 1,500 remember what life at the Bottom is like i am a Junior no from fort Hood Texas. I participated in the reformer exercise. I was taught to look out for the health and welfare of the soldiers. I wonder How Many senior cos and offi cers remember How it feels to be cold wet tired and discouraged. The teat the guards arc staying in has no lights or heat. When he gets off guard he has no warm place to sleep or dry his clothes while he Waits to go Back outside. In reality he is cold for 24 hours. So far there has t been any cold weather injuries but at this rate it won t be Long it s treatment like this that makes today s soldiers get out of the army. I and several other Junior cos have pointed this out to the Chain of command All the Way to the mayor of the Cavern. But once the info goes past Junior to senior it stops because half the e-7s and above can t even remember what it feels like to be in charge of guard duty let alone do guard duty. There Are six Heaters that Are not being used in this area. What do i Tell a Soldier when he asks me Why therein t any heat in his tent so please do me a favor if you Are a Junior no and you make senior Don t forget what it was like to be at the Bottom.
