PAM GAINES HOLT

Pam was on the Norman Wells drama flight. Read all about it!

Pam Holt, Director of Arrow´s Cargo Charter Sales,
Mayor Jule Wittman with Arrow Air President
Richard Haberly

I flew for ONA in the mid/late 1960's, aircraft type
DC8, DC9. ONA sent me to Frankfurt to help out with
summer opns, I got together with
Dimitri Pavlowitch in Europe, we wound up in Palma
de Majorca (I had gone back to flying for a short time).
ONA sent Dimitri to Malaga, I worked as a ground rep for
TIA there, after that back to Frankfurt for several years.

I worked for Saturn Herc operations until they were
purchased by TIA and the opns moved to London. After
Saturn I was hired by Seaboard World Airways to
coordinate their DC8 operations for Saudia. By then
Dimitri had gone back to the US and was working with
Lou Furlong in Wilmington, OH. I returned to the US
in late 1979, in early 1980 Dimitri and I split up and
I moved to Miami. In Miami I learned that George
Batchelor was starting another airline ... Arrow Air.
I worked for Arrow from their founding in 1980 until
I left to start my own company in 1992. At Arrow I was
director of charter sales, aircraft scheduling and
after the gander crash I took on fuel purchasing as
well. My company was called Jet-A-Service, I handled
fuel purchases for Arrow, Rich, Strategic Air,
Caribbean Transportation and a few others. I disolved
the corporation in 2010 but I still dabble in jet
fuel contracts. The attached photos are Dimitri with
Donna Peck (my roommate in Manhattan) and With Mike
Boradale ONA ground service UK. Donna passed away many
years ago but I wonder about a few old friends like
Liv Norman (a flight attendant from Norway) and Capt.
Bill Carson.
Hope to get in contact with friends and colleagues
from ONA!

CABIN CREW REQUIREMENTS

Overseas National Airways places great 
demands on its cabin crew. Each cabin 
crew member is responsible for giving 
our passengers a good inflight experience. 
Furthermore, the cabin crew is responsible 
for passenger safety and comfort, which 
requires a sense of responsibility, 
collaborative skills and flexibility. 
As a cabin attendant you must be able 
to give first aid and prevent and handle 
any critical situation. You should have 
a desire to provide a good and personal 
service and be responsive to passenger 
requests and needs. You will be working 
at all hours of the day, often under 
time pressure and subject to high work 
requirements.
