Fellow American Eagle pilots:
On January 26, 2011, the MEC filed a grievance over AMRs plan to transfer the ownership of Eagles aircraft to AMR in anticipation of the possible divestiture of American Eagle from AMR.
AMRs stated desire was to own these aircraft for a number of reasons, not the least of which was to facilitate the transfer of Eagles flight operations to other feed operators in order to, diversify their feed.
If we were to win this grievance, it would not stop the transfer of ownership of Eagles aircraft to AA, nor would it stop the transfer of Eagles flight operations to other feed operators. What it would require is that pursuant to Section 1 of our collective bargaining agreement, Eagle pilots and the Eagle contract would have to transfer with aircraft to the other feed operator. For example, if AA were to outsource some of Eagles current flying to Mesa Airlines, the number of Eagle pilots required to staff those aircraft and contract would go with the aircraft to Mesa Airlines and be employed at that carrier with a five year window during which they could elect to transfer back to Eagle. In the end, though, the flying would leave American Eagle. This grievance was about pilot jobs, not the transfer of assets.
Today, we settled this grievance for an option the MEC believes to be better than our original contract provisions. The settlement is as follows:
1. Every American Eagle pilot who is on the American Eagle pilot seniority list as of October 11, 2011 will be offered a job as an American Airlines pilot in the future.
2. American Eagle pilots hired under this settlement agreement will not be subjected to a pre-employment interview or pre-employment medical examination prior to transferring to American Airlines.
3. American Eagle pilots will be offered a minimum of 35% of every American Airlines new-hire class. In the event that 35% of American Airlines new hire class is greater than 25 pilots per month, American Eagle will be required to release at least 25 Eagle pilots per month.
4. If American Eagle loses flying and such loss results in a furlough, American Airlines will increase the percentage of Eagle pilots in their new-hire classes to a minimum of 50%. The meter above will continue to apply.
5. If American Eagle loses flying and such loss might result in a furlough, American Airlines will also attempt to negotiate preferential interviews for American Eagle pilots at the carrier who has successfully bid for the flying that Eagle is losing.
6. This settlement does not impact the existing rights of American Eagle flow-through pilots who currently possess American Airlines pilot seniority numbers, or the rights of the 824 pilot positions awarded as remedy by Arbitrator Nicolau. Those provisions are in place and will remain effective without regard to this settlement agreement.
7. American Eagle has agreed to clarifying contract language regarding the scope of work that American Eagle pilots perform in the event of a divestiture.

This grievance settlement agreement is divided into three documents. The first document is a three-party agreement between American Airlines, American Eagle Airlines, and ALPA delineating the process by which American Eagle pilots are offered pilot jobs at American Airlines. The second document is a two-party agreement between American Eagle Airlines and ALPA delineating the process that Eagle will utilize to transfer pilots to American Airlines. This document also describes the withdrawal of this grievance as a result of this settlement. These first two documents are available on the ALPA-Eagle website and ARE NOW EFFECTIVE.
The third document is the new scope language that is proposed to take effect in the event of a divestiture of American Eagle from AMR. This language is a change to our collective bargaining agreement and is contingent on the divestiture of American Eagle. Pursuant to a resolution ratified by the MEC, this letter requires pilot ratification in order to be effective. Therefore, we have posted this draft Scope Letter of Agreement on the ALPA-Eagle website and will begin the information process at the end of this week. A pilot vote will be scheduled shortly and more information will follow in this Fridays hotline.
Although this settlement is a major step forward in securing job progression and security for every American Eagle pilot, we remain in unstable and quickly changing times. The MEC continues to expect that the AMR Board of Directors will be considering the potential divestiture of American Eagle from AMR at this weeks Board meeting and an announcement on Eagles future ownership could be made as early as tomorrow.
We will have much more information for you on this settlement and Eagles possible divestiture following the conclusion of AMRs Board meeting this week. Your Pilot-to-Pilot representatives have been briefed on this settlement and are in possession of an FAQ regarding the settlement. In addition, we have created a new Eagle ALPA Facebook page to provide information to you in a timely manner. Our communications volunteers are monitoring this site in order to address your concerns. Be sure to Like Eagle ALPA on Facebook so that you will receive our status updates.
My thanks to all those who worked so diligently to bring this grievance settlement to completion. That includes our grievance and contract compliance volunteers, legal staff, negotiating committee volunteers and also representatives from American Airlines and American Eagle who worked late nights and early mornings over the past six days to move this agreement from concepts to specific language.
Please stay tuned for further updates, including this Fridays hotline regarding the pilot ratification process for our draft Scope Letter of Agreement.
Please reach out to your local representatives with questions.
Fraternally,

"The deal is expected to be announced Wednesday, when the carrier will also report earnings and announce the sale of American Eagle, the newspaper said."
Who is buying Eagle?

Incredible! Great job to APA American and ALPA Eagle to work this out.
I would hope that Delta Connection carriers could be afforded an opportunity like this, but no way. Now I regret not going to Eagle in 2007. The double-breasted egotistical union leaders at Delta refuse any flowthrough agreements, barely giving XJ the 100 flows and Compass only until Summer 2010 hires.

Yeah, and then the company goes and beats the drum in high schools saying they won't find enough pilots in the coming years. I can tell you beating the hell out of current employer isn't helping their case for me wanting to go there. Unfortunately, unless I want to commute for the rest of my life, I don't have many choices.

To encourage more qualified applicants at the regional level.
ASA is already working on something similar.

By talking to them, and because its the best way to get rid of your senior guys and lower your costs.
Well, I would have to say you're probably right. If SkyWest bought Eagle I would imagine they drove a hard bargain that protects their own best interests.

Not exactly the most trustworthy source. He says many things that don't turn out to be true.
