From a Mixed Media on Board
The air mail pilots were, in the beginning at least, under a "fly or
be fired" order from the postmaster Otto Preager. The
deskbound official, never having flown, had no idea or obvious
concern about what the pilots had to endure. "If I can see the
building across the street, it's ok to fly." The aviators went on
strike and one pilot took a Post Office official on a mail run that
scared the fellow so bad, the rule was changed to give the pilots
the right to decide if conditions were good enough to fly.
