Not much but it might help a few....
MEC Alert – January 3, 2006
From: JR Baker, MEC Chairman
To: All AWA Pilots
As you likely know by now, FLYi, Inc, announced that Independence Air
will stop flying this Thursday evening, January 5, due to “continued
financial challenges” facing the company.
With the airline ceasing operations, there will likely be crews who are
stranded, so I’m asking for your help in getting them home.
I spoke with Jeff McClelland, US Airways EVP and Chief Administration
Officer, about opening our doors to help when news of Independence Air
discontinuing operations broke. He agreed, and as of right now, we are
the first airline that has stepped up to the plate in helping our fellow
pilots in their time of need.
If you run across an Independence Air pilot who is trying to get home
once their company shuts down and space allows, please welcome him or
her on board. Let me know if you have any questions or encounter any
difficulties helping these crewmembers get home.
