This is a hotline message from Jason Hedgepeth, Communications Manager for Local 747
On Friday, September 05, 2003, Chautauqua Airlines and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters reached a tentative agreement subject to ratification by the pilots. Specific details of the agreement will be forthcoming.
The agreement provides security for all Chautauqua pilots and insures that all flying performed by Chautauqua or any subsidiary of the parent, Republic Airways, Inc., will be flown by pilots from the Chautauqua seniority list.
The agreement also provides for substantial wage increases, while at the same time giving the company the opportunity to compete in a very vigorous and competitive regional airline industry. In settling on the final terms of the contract, CEO Bryan Bedford stated that, “Chautauqua pilots are the best pilots in the industry and deserve enhanced job security and a fair wage rate.”
The Chautauqua Negotiating Committee believes they have achieved the very best contract possible in today’s economic environment.
There will also be a road show taking place on Tuesday, September 9th through Friday the 12th in the following base locations: IND, LGA, CMH, STL, PHL, RIC, and MCO.
Specific times, locations and an outline will be posted on Saturday, September 6.
It is planned to have the contract mailed out on Monday, September 8th.
"substantial wage increases"? "enhanced job security and a fair wage rate.” " spoken by the CEO? WAY TO GO TEAMSTERS!!! Modern day ALPA could learn a thing or two from you guys. I suppose this post is premature till we see the details but you wont see those words spoken by an ALPA Regional Carrier i assure you.
