Yes I read that chapter. I have been searching up newspaper archives and the like for something more detailed about the events that led up to 5th avenue coach’s sudden demise and what made it such a “perfect storm”.One thing that stands out is how easily Fifth Avenue Coach’s FACO and NYCO division assets could’ve been sold to someone else during the January 1962 strike while the Moreland faction kept Surface Transit. Yes Weinberg still probably would gain control of Fifth Avenue Coach the corporation, but any events might have largely been confined to Surface Transit or happen a few years after 1962 instead of in 1962. Of note, the westchester street transportation strike in March 1962 ended quickly and Quill got a no layoff clause out of Weinberg for Westchester. |
