The AFL-CIO Airline Pilots Association says 46 000 members will refuse to fly to Cuba or Algeria or any country that refuses to prosecute or extradite hijackers. ALPA says the boycott could extend to airlines serving Cuba or Middle Eastern nations sheltering hijackers, with a potential 24 hour nationwide refusal. O'Donnell urged Nixon to bar aircraft from nations that permit air piracy and asked unions to cut servicing and ground support for affected nations.
