From the early days of Trans-Canada Air Lines we go back in time in case some readers are interested in genealogy information on their families.

We peruse the early issues of the 'Between Ourselves' magazine.


Issue dated May 1956

St. John's, Newfoundland Reservations was the first office in the Atlantic Provinces to acquire a rotary reservations table. However recent installations saw similar equipment pressed into service in Boston, Halifax and Sydney.

The St. John's personnel shown are from the left: J. Fardy, PA (Tel); P. Fanning, Teletypist; L. Heffernan, PA (Tel); P. Maddigan, Lead Agent; H. Janisczak; RA; M. English, PA (Tel) and J. Dunne, PA (Tel).

Editors' Note: Job titles have certainly changed over the years. We are assuming that 'PA (Tel)' refers to a Passenger Agent (telephone), working reservations wearing headsets. A 'Teletypist' would probably be considered a sort of Communicator today.
