About 38 Texas A&M students
lost their jobs Sunday when Padre
Cafe closed its doors.
Donald Citrano, executive man
ager of Padre Cafe, said the decision
came from top management
Wednesday. Employees were given a
one-day notice Saturday. The fol
lowing day the restaurant closed
permanently.
“Rumors were out from top man
agement three months ago that if we
did not show an increase in returns
we would have to close,” Citrano
said. “\Ve didn’t expect anything to
happen until January or February.”
DALLAS — Continental Airlines’
pilots are being cited for violating
federal regulations more than those
at any other airline, and Delta Air
Lines’ pilots have the lowest citation
rate, the Dallas Times Herald re
ported Tuesday.
The newspaper said that based on
comparisons of 1,152 federal pilot
citations issued since 1980 and the
number of flights per major airline,
pilots at Continental. Midway and
American ranked First, second and
third for the highest rate of viola
tions.
TWA, USAir, Frontier and Pan
Am were among other airlines
Citrano said the restaurant was
not losing money, but investors felt
profits were unsatisfactory.
Citrano attributes the lack of re
turns mainly to an excess of restau
rants in College Station and location.
“Padre’s view from Texas Avenue
is blocked by United Bank," Citrano
said.
During football games and grad
uation for instance, places with high
visibility from Texas Avenue such as
Bennigan’s and Julies’s Place get
most of the business, he said.
“We have good local clients but
none from out of town. We had to
count on repeat business and word
of mouth,” Citrano said.
And finally, Citrano said that
whose pilots were cited more often
than the average of the 17 airlines
used for comparison, the newspaper
said in a story that is part of a week-
long series on air safety.
Delta was followed by Ozark and
Republic in the lowest citation rate,
and those airlines stress the impor
tance of federal safety regulations
more than the others, said John Gal-
ipault, president of the Aviation
Safety Institute.
Pilots can be cited for breaking
any of hundreds of Federal Aviation
Administration rules, including dis
regarding air traffic control instruc
tions, flying planes at wrong alti
tudes and improper training.
Padre’s did not experience the in
crease in clientele that normally oc
curs during the month of Septem
ber.
“We expected business to pick up
in September, almost double, but it
did not happen after this summer,”
Citrano said.
Citrano was only able to give his
employees a one-day notice.
“We (local management) didn’t
have much notice either,” he said.
“Besides, you lose control of the situ
ation if you let people know you are
dosing.”
Citrano said former employees
will be given double their last week’s
pay and he w ill assist them in locat-
ing new jobs.
Officials at the airlines whose pi
lots were cited most blame a lack of
uniformity in the way violations are
reported to and investigated by the
FAA, as well as how the agency levies
penalties.
“Region by region, it varies as if
you were dealing with the foreign
policies of Czechoslovakia versus
France,” said David Armstrong,
Midway Airlines’ vice president for
legal affairs.
According to a Times Herald
study of pilot violations at 17 major
air carriers since 1980, citations to
those airlines were issued at an aver
age rate of one per 31,956 flights.
At Delta, pilots averaged one cita-
The restaurant, a venture of Da
vid Tinsley, opened in September
1982 as Tecs. A year later Tinsley
changed the concept of the restau
rant and renamed it Padre Cafe.
Tinsley is owner of the Tinsley’s
Chicken-N-Roll chain along with
several other restaurants.
Culpepper Properties, who leased
the space to Padre Cafe, said Cul
pepper Plaza will not be affected by
the vacancy.
Culpepper Properties Spokesman
Jerry Buck said, “People have al
ready been calling expressing an in
terest in doing something with the
location, but no final decision has
been made as of yet.”
tion per 57,490 flights while Conti
nental averaged one citation per
15,600 flights.
Continental spokesman Mike Cin-
elli said his airline’s high violation
rate is a result of harassment by
other pilots stemming from Conti
nental’s pilot strike, which officially
ended Oct. 31.
At American Airlines, spokesman
John Hotard said the airline’s will
ingness to report its own errors ac
counts for the high rate of citations.
The Continental violations
ranged from a few failures to report
mechanical irregularities to dozens
of cases of failure to comply with air
traffic control instructions •
