 the then National Labor Board, and considered their relationship to the accident. A request for a rehearing had been granted but no further proceedings were taken. Since his reinstatement and until the time of the accident, Captain Williams' conduct and procedure were considered satisfactory by the management of TWA. We therefore conclude that the dispute between Captain Williams and TWA in 1933 has no causal relation to the accident.

Captain Williams originally qualified on all routes of the Albuquerque-Burbank Division in 1938. As he was assigned as pilot on another division, however, this route qualification expired. He was requalified on all routes between Albuquerque and Burbank, including the Las Vegas-Burbank route, on January 7, 1941, after having complied with the requirements of the company and of the Civil Air Regulations. He was assigned to the Albuquerque-Burbank Division on November 16, 1941. Since then he had made 39 trips on this division, seven of which included trips between Burbank and Boulder City, and two of which included trips between Burbank and Las Vegas. His rest period prior to departure from Albuquerque on January 16th was 22 hours, 40 minutes.
