The following is the CRJ-700 agreement made between the APA and AMR. This sets a frightening precedent. Hopefully ALPA will move quickly to attempt to defend the Eagle pilots.
Agreement on CRJ-700 Aircraft and Supplement W Settlement
This Agreement is made and entered into in accordance with the provisions of the Railway Labor Act, as amended, by and between American Airlines, Inc., hereinafter known as the “Company” and the Air Line Pilots in the service of the Company as represented by the Allied Pilots Association, hereinafter known as the APA.
Whereas the Association and the Company have agreed that in the future, Commuter Air Carriers operating under Section 1.D. of the Agreement shall utilize only aircraft that are not certificated in the United States or Europe with a maximum passenger capacity of more than 50 seats and that are not certificated in any country with a maximum gross takeoff weight of more than 65,000 pounds;
Whereas American Eagle Airlines currently has twenty five CRJ-700 aircraft in service or on firm order, and also has options on an additional twenty five CRJ-700 aircraft;
Whereas the parties have agreed to settle certain Grievances dated November 8, 2001 and November 30, 2001 under Supplement W to the Agreement on the terms contained herein and in the accompanying “Small Jets” Letter of Agreement;
Now, therefore, the parties hereby agree to the following:
1. The Company and APA shall have one year from [DOS] to meet and negotiate in good faith the transfer of the CRJ-700 aircraft currently in service, on order, or on option at American Eagle to the Company’s operating certificate in a manner that shall be cost-neutral as to labor costs under collective bargaining agreements.
2. The APA hereby grants to the Company an exception from the 50 seat, 65,000 pound limitations on aircraft at American Eagle during the time period of negotiations pursuant to paragraph 1, above, and for one year after reaching agreement with the APA under paragraph 1, above, in order to effect the transfer to the Company’s operating certificate of all CRJ-700 aircraft operated by the Company or an Affiliate.
3. If the parties fail to reach agreement pursuant to paragraph 1, above, furloughed American pilots shall occupy the CRJ Captain positions at American Eagle so long as any American pilots are on furlough; the parties shall meet to discuss how best to implement the parties present intention to secure CRJ-700 flying at the Company and its Affiliates to American Airlines pilots; and the Company shall have an exception to keep the affected CRJ-700 aircraft at American Eagle pending the resolution of that issue.
4. Furloughed American Airlines pilots shall displace into CJ Captain positions on the CRJ-700 at American Eagle under the terms of Supplement W to the Agreement; such displacement shall encompass all CJ Captain positions currently occupied by Eagle CJ Captains and subject to displacement under the terms of Supplement W.
5. Furloughed American Airlines pilots shall be recalled into vacant CJ Captain positions created by the receipt of new CRJ-700 aircraft at American Eagle pursuant to the terms of Supplement W. All furloughed American Airlines pilots shall be eligible for such recall to American Eagle in accordance with their American Airlines seniority, regardless of whether they have previously occupied the CJ Captain bid status at American Eagle.
6. A furloughed American Airlines pilot shall be recalled into each vacant CJ Captain position created by the receipt of a new EMB-145 aircraft at American Eagle pursuant to the terms of Supplement W, provided that the addition of that aircraft results in an increase in the overall American Eagle fleet count. All furloughed American Airlines pilots shall be eligible for such recall to American Eagle in accordance with their American Airlines seniority, regardless of whether they have previously occupied the CJ Captain bid status at American Eagle. Furloughed American Airlines pilots waive their right to any further displacements and recalls into EMB-145 aircraft after DOS.
