EXPRESSJET AIRLINES
NEGOTIATIONS / MERGER UPDATE
Your negotiating committee met at the Union's William W.
Winpisinger training center in Hollywood, Maryland from August 26 - 29,
2010, to finalize contract proposals which will be presented to
ExpressJet management in Houston on September 20, 2010. Your committee
is well prepared to begin negotiations and achieve another industry
leading contract for our members.
On August 30, 2010 the committee joined with Executive Board
members and Communicators from all four Local Lodges as well as all
ExpressJet grievance representatives, for a second Merger Summit during
which we developed a Strategic Plan to preserve the rights and
seniority of our members during the unsettling acquisition/merger
process.
In early October, President-Directing General Chairperson Tom
Higginbotham and General Chairperson's, Kate Romanausky and Randy
Hatfield will meet for the first time with ASA management in Atlanta. |
 UPDATE
Today
Continental Airlines announced its intention to make an application for a
single Part 121 operating certificate, combining the operating
certificates of Continental Micronesia and Continental Airlines. This
action begins the process of combining the operating certificates of
all three airlines, Continental Micronesia, Continental and United. This
announcement has no immediate impact to the Continental Micronesia
operation and most importantly to the Flight Attendant collective
bargaining agreement. As more information becomes available you will
be advised.
