Word from our MEC was that the aircraft would be transfered at 2 per month starting in January.
ALPA is very pleased to announce that as a result of ALPA and Eagle management’s efforts, the 10 Embraer 145’s currently leased to TSA will be returned to American Eagle Airlines. The transfer process will begin in approximately 6 months, and continue at a rate of approximately two aircraft per month into 2009.
Although this is welcome news for Eagle pilots who have wrestled with outsourcing since AA’s acquisition of TWA, it is a significant blow to our fellow ALPA pilots at Trans States Airlines. Our MEC will continue to work closely with the Trans States Airlines MEC to assist in whatever way we can.
