Summer flights anticipated
Braniff plans revamping
United Press International
GRAPEVINE — Braniff In
ternational has filed a reorgani
zation plan that expresses hope
of resuming flights this summer,
but former employees are dis
appointed the bankrupt airline
apparently has no enthusiasm
for a bailout offer from the
Hyatt Corp.
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.
