ExpressJet Pilots Stand Proudly with the Pilots of American Eagle
Today the pilots of American Eagle voted against a concessionary contract by an overwhelming margin of 70%. The ExpressJet MEC would like to convey its support for their decision to join other pilot groups at Fee For Departure airlines who have resisted the downward pressure on pay, benefits, and work rules. All pilots must stand together during this challenging time. Your MEC will continue to support the American Eagle pilots. Only through unified action can we change the industry. Today is a continuation of our ongoing support for our brothers and sisters at American Eagle.
My how times change! Just a few short months ago, i was told by the XJET mec that voting NO was useless as AE couldn't be counted on to support us and they would probably get more flying at XJT expense. 7,000 pilots now saying NO! Are you listening RAH?! We need you to stand up! Let's go for 10,000!
