Pilots strike in Virginia mostly disrupts Eastern flights
A one day worldwide pilots strike largely halted Eastern Air Lines operations at Virginia airports on Monday. Richmond Byrd International saw the worst impact with about half the traffic and 1,000 daily passengers affected as most Eastern flyers were rebooked or rerouted. Flights at Roanoke Woodrum Field and Norfolk Regional Airport ran normally. Eastern expects to resume at 2 a.m. Tuesday while Piedmont and United reported extra business in Richmond due to the cancellations. The only open Byrd facility Monday was a restaurant, with many meals tied to Eastern flights molasses.

Miller asks SCC to probe Virginia title insurance practices
Atty. Gen. Andrew P. Miller urged the State Corporation Commission to hold fall hearings into title insurance operations in Virginia. He cited press articles and numerous inquiries about possible unethical or illegal practices, including risk-rate fairness, reissue discounts, improper inducements, and conflicts of interest with closing attorneys who are licensed agents. He proposed licensing closing attorneys with all title companies to reduce profit motive and ensure disclosure of optional title policies to buyers.
