The airlines call passengers "Pax." Pax refers to both one passenger and many passengers.

As one passenger, you can make a difference in PaxPax.org.

I hope you will join PaxPax.org and contribute to this effort to secure the changes that are required to upgrade the safety and quality of flying.

Your tax-deductable contribution will help us to assist the flying public by getting our database ready for networking. And, when you join PaxPax, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping hundreds of millions of passengers who fly each year.

VOLUNTEERS

We need volunteers—a database programmer and enthusiastic pax who are interested in reporting on their flights about cabin comfort and pax health/safety.

FROM DIANA

In a radio interview in 1997, Art Bell, asked me: "Why don't we have an advocate—I mean you're obviously that—a high level advocate who represents passengers' rights?"

Politely (like a good flight attendant, I told Art: "That's what I'm trying to do because no one else is doing it."

Now with continuous media exposure for many years and expert witness testimony, too, and with the airlines nowd publishing phony studies to show that people don't get sick from recirculated air—I've decided to move into a higher level of advocacy to be more effective.

My new focus centers on a database I am creating to enable passengers to network. The IRS has granted me nonprofit status for this project, and the web site where this will be hosted is PaxPax.org. I look forward to getting the funding for this interactive database.

I also look back now at the many steps which have brought me here. In 1966 when I was hired by Pan Am, I learned that the word passenger (both singular and plural) was abbreviated by the airline industry as the three-letter code: pax. I also knew pax as a word from high school Latin. It means peace. Holding this higher purpose in my heart these many years—that passengers should have peace.

But today pax can barely move or breathe. Our mission is to make the flying experience healthier, safer, less fatiguing, and more comfortable. Our work is to inform, empower, and organize air travelers.
