Labor Dispute May Have Led To Wire Cutting Of Pan Am Jet

By Newsradio 88 Staff

It may have been a labor dispute that was behind the cutting of some wires on a Pam Am jet at Kennedy airport.

A Pan Am spokesman says the problem may have to do with union workers for TWA.

Pan Am's maintenance workers are not union members.

Pan Am says passengers were never in any danger and that the Miami-bound plane would never have taken off. But sources say some of the wire may have been clipped over the weekend and the aircraft flew despite the damage.
