Global pilot strike disrupts overseas air service
The pilots strike called by the International Federation of Airline Pilots affected overseas routes while U.S. lines largely operated normally. Western and Pacific Southwest Airlines were among few domestic carriers still flying from Long Beach as many foreign airports faced flight suspensions and thousands of tourists faced delays. Pan Am, British Airways, and other foreign carriers reported varied disruption with several airports closed or limited service. Eastern Airlines projected millions in lost revenue as ground crews and pilots walked out in sympathy, and a federal judge retained a temporary injunction against the stoppage.
