A pilot's strike against Pan American World Airways, largest transporter of St. Thomas passengers between San Juan and the states, has been called off. The strike, scheduled for 12:01 this morning, would have involved 1,400 pilots. Points at issue have been wages and cockpit crew strength on jet flights.
The pilots have been technically free to strike since Jan. 9 but have refrained from doing so as long as negotiations with the company appeared to be moving toward a solution.
The strike for today was called when the pilots lost patience. The St. Thomas office of Pan-Am said yesterday it had no information on the strike other than it had read in the newspapers or heard on the radio.
