Two pilots fired after strike at Air North
Air North at Burlington International Airport fired two pilots Gerald Prairie and John Hamilton for taking part in a one day wildcat strike. They reportedly taxied as if to take off then returned to the terminal and discharged passengers. Eight other pilots were laid off due to contract cutbacks with Allegheny Airlines. Union spokesman Alex Calder called the dismissals reprisals against a landslide union vote.
