If I remember right, I believe if you come from another 121 program it's 800/100

Attention American Eagle Pilots:

We have just been notified by the company that a WARN notice have being issued for DFW-based ATR Captains and First Officers. This notice can be viewed on our website here.

The WARN Act was enacted in August 1988 and it requires 60 days’ notice in advance of “mass” layoffs. “Mass” layoffs are layoffs of 500 or more employees in a 30 day period, or more than 50 employees if they make up more than 33 percent of the employer’s workforce. The purpose of this law is to provide a level of protection to the employees and their families by providing advance notice of a potential layoff.

This does not necessarily mean the company will furlough the pilots listed on the notice; however, the notice is a legal requirement the company must fulfill. Our contract requires that pilots may only be furloughed in reverse order of their system seniority, and pilots at a location affected by a furlough have contractual displacement rights based on their seniority. Regardless, please take the time to prepare yourself for a potential displacement or furlough. Ensure your displacement proffer is current and reflects your preference for displacement.

Any questions, reach out to your LEC reps or the MEC office.

No. Being in Bankruptcy means that the company may ASK the judge to modify the contract in part or in whole. The contract is not just automatically thrown out.

Read the WARN letter sent out by the company. It says that pilots who may be affected (and if affected) will be displaced per the applicable provisions of the contract. In other words, seniority is used to determine where the bumped pilots will go. Read the displacement section of our contract.
