Big Bird’ sightings
reported in Valley
United Press International
LOS FRESNOS — In a report
reminiscent of the “big bird
sightings in 1975-76 in the Rio
Grande Valley, an ambulance
driver reported he saw a bird-like
object “at least the width of an
ambulance’’ and 8 to 10 feet long
glide across a highway.
James Thompson, an
Emergency Medical Services
technician in Harlingen, said he
spied the mystery bird about 3:55
p.m. Wednesday about 4 miles
east of Los Fresnos as he returned
from having his ambulance in
spected at South Padre Island.
“I expected him to land like a
model airplane. That’s what I
thought he was, hut he flapped his
wings enough to get above the
grass,” Thompson told The Valley
Morning Star. He estimated the
creature’s wing span at 5 to 6 feet.
“It had (a) black or grayish (col
or and) rough texture. It wasn’t
feathers. I'm quite sure it was a
hide-type covering. I just watched
him fly away, the medical techni
cian said.
During late 1975 and early
1976, from the Valley to Robstown
and San Antonio, several people
reported seeing a large bird glid
ing through the air. Men at Eagle
Pass and Raymondville even re
ported they were attacked by bat-
like creatures, hut police dis
counted the reports as a mixture of
alcohol and Mexican folklore.
Thompson said its head had a
hump on the hack and that the
creature had “almost no neck at
all and “something like a peli
can s pouch.

Airline asks workers
to accept pay cuts
United Press International
HOUSTON — Continental Air
lines has asked employees to
accept a new cost restructuring
plan that includes wage and be
nefit reductions and an employee
stock ownership option designed
to ensure the company’s survival.
Continental Chairman Frank
Lorenzo, concerned with an $84
million loss during the first half of
this year, proceeded by annual
losses of $54 million in 1982 apd
$60 million in 1981, revealed a
plan aimed at saving the airline
$150 million a year
Employees are being pre
sented with a plan that makes a
very sharp change in their com
pensation and productivity
levels, Lorenzo said in a state
ment Wednesday.
“Therefore, we believe those
employees should share signifi
cantly in the ownership of the
company in order to participate
with other investors in the re
wards that come with a competi
tive cost structure, ” Lorenzo said.
1 The proposed plan offers em
ployees a stock bonus feature in
volving four million shares of Con
tinental common stock and the op
tion to purchase eight million
shares of the airline’s common
stock at 85 percent of the market
price at the time the plan is im
plemented, said Continental
spokesman Bruce Hicks.
If the plan is approved. Con
tinental would become the largest
employee-owned airline in the
world with employees owning up
to 35 percent of the company’s
common stock, Lorenzo said.
Lorenzo said employees would
receive 25 percent of the com
pany’s profits.
Hicks said about 5,000 of the
company s 12,000 employees,
mostly non-union ticket agents
and clerical workers, have
approved the stock option plan.
Pilots and flight attendants are ex
pected to vote on the measure
within a w'eek.
The airline s economic plan in
cludes an estimated annual sav
ings of $20 million from workers
belonging to the International
Association of Machinists, which
struck the airline Aug. 13 in a dis
pute over wages and work rules.
“Most of the $20 million in IAM
savings has been achieved as a re
sult of the new IAM wage and be
nefit policy implemented last
month after a strike by IAM em
ployees,” an airline statement
said.
