Braniff met Monday’s dead line for submitting its plans to federal bankruptcy Judge John Flowers after its board of dire ctors unanimously agreed to try for, at the mininum, a fixed base aviation and fuel service opera tion at Dallas Love Field and Dallas-Fort Worth Regional Air port. The board also gave Braniff management until May 16 to de velop and propose a viable line operation using 31 Boeing 727 airplanes to be leased to Braniff by those secured creditors who, in effect, hold title to the air craft. Braniff president Howard Putnam, during a news confer ence at Braniff headquarters at DFW airport, said while the offer by the Chicago-based Hyatt hotel chain to lend funds to resume operations still had not been rejected, there were potential problems with it. Management believes it would take a minimum of $60 million to resume operations with a minimum of 30 planes by July 1. A delay until Sept. 1 would raise the amount needed to $70 million, Putnam said. Putnam said although Hyatt did contemplate an expenditure of $60 million, some of the aspects of how the $60 million would be turned over to Braniff had not been delivered to the company for its consideration. “We’re still interested in the proposals of Hyatt or anyone else who will meet that $60 mil lion figure,” said Putnam, who expressed dismay that the Hyatt offer had ever become public and raised the hopes of creditors and former employees. One of those former em ployees, retired pilot Jack Mor ton, said he was greatly dis appointed that Braniff manage ment did not seem to be jump ing at the Hyatt offer. “My feeling is that I’ve been very disappointed that they ha ven’t jumped for joy because Hyatt Corp. came forward and said we’ll help get Braniff back in the air again,” said Morton, who with retired pilot Clenn Schupp first approached Hyatt about the bailout. “Hyatt not only has the funds but they have tremendous ex pertise in marketing,” he said. they “It’s so much better than have ever been offered.” Marvin Schlinke, president of the Teamsters Union local that represents some 2,000 former Braniff employees, also express ed support for the Hyatt prop osal. “We’re very much in favor of the Hyatt offer,” he said. “Hyatt’s ready to put money into it.” Putnam said the airline’s main goal was still to avoid outright liquidation. “The worst thing that could happen would be to go into a liquidation where we would lose everything,” he said.
