So a lineholder gets "displaced" off a trip? Does that mean everyone is potentially on "pseudo-reserve"? Are you pay protected for this?

 

Print your HI3 when you get done tomorrow and keep it moving. Before you start a new sequence, you must have at least 10 hrs between the end of your previous sequence and the start of the new sequence. If they don't, request it. Enjoy your extra day(s) off!

 

I haven't read the TA, ajemmm I mean new contract in a couple of weeks.

But I remember that once you get displaced out of a trip, you have to verify each day at 12pm central time to see if you've been reassigned.

If you get displaced from a trip due to training, the remaining days you get RSV.

And for this and other stuff I voted no.

Read the new contract provision on the TA, because this will be our way of living in the next 8 years.

 

I think is 10 hrs between duty periods in base!

 

The old contract they had till noon the day prior to assign you flying. Every day you had flying.

 

Not correct. I even remember that from my time years ago. I was a CKA back then. They only had until noon the first day... If you are now in the hook for noon each day that is a change.

If you had a 4 day trip you only had to check until noon the day before it started. No assignment, 4,data off with pay. Sounds like a big big change to me. Especially if you are a commuter.

 

Doesn't DG have something to tell us soon?

 

More flying for Eagle brand since L-Eagle cant staff it. Parking ERJ faster than planned because staffing.

Happy New Year.

 

Above sounds correct, as I only dealt with it once during Hurricane Irene. It might be that they just kept canceling stuff one day at a time, and thats why I was checking noon prior.

 

There you have it!

SPECIAL EAGLEWIRE FOR January 1, 2013

January 1, 2013


Eagle and Executive Employees,


Today AMR and American Airlines made a number of important announcements, including the raising of an additional $1.3 billion in cash reserves, the restructuring of AA and Eagle schedules at several key hubs, the continuation of AA's fleet renewal, and the addition of many new international flights. Finally, Eagle announced that it has signed a letter of intent with Bombardier to exercise its options to purchase 65 new CRJ-700 aircraft. The purchase of these aircraft will be fully financed. I encourage you to go to Jetnet to read AA’s press release and a letter to employees from AMR CEO T.H.

The combination of all of these announcements is very positive for AMR, AA and American Eagle. The improvement in AMR's cash balance as a result of the financing agreements will better enable the corporation to manage through this difficult environment and focus on doing the things necessary for intermediate and long-term success. The network changes will make the AA/AE combination more competitive in our most important markets and the addition of 65 CRJ-700s will better enable Eagle to support the AA network and make Eagle a stronger company.

The new aircraft will start arriving in June of 2013 and will be delivered in a two-class configuration.

The schedule changes announced today will impact Eagle in a number of ways. First, our schedule in Chicago will be increased, including the shifting of most of the DFW-based CRJs to Chicago starting next spring. Schedules will be increased at JFK and MIA. AA will take over some Eagle routes. Eagle will take over some AA routes and AA and Eagle will share a number of routes for the first time. Final specific schedules are still being nailed down but many of the changes will occur in October of 2013, with the remaining changes occurring over the course of winter of 2013. More details on the schedule changes can be found on Jetnet.


We are in the process of determining the impact these changes will have on staffing requirements for each of our work groups and will be communicating on this topic as soon as we have definitive information to share.


I believe that the schedule changes which AA has directed for Eagle -- and for AA's other regional partner, Chautauqua Airlines, which AA intends to shift from STL to ORD -- will make the AA network more successful in this extremely competitive business. I am pleased that Eagle will be playing an important role in these changes to strengthen the network and to begin detailed planning for delivery of the new CRJs. I hope you share my pride in the fact that AA has confidence in our ability to respond to these requests and to operate the new schedule safely and reliably.


Today's announcements are consistent with our Plan to Win and its three major strategies of retaining AA as a customer, preparing for growth, and aligning employee interests.


Thank you for everything you do to work safely and provide outstanding service to our customers and each other.



Sincerely,


D.G

President and CEO

American Eagle Airlines
