As pilot contract negotiations between American Eagle management
and its pilots, represented by the ALPA resumed Monday, frustrated
pilots called on management to "do the right thing" and take
advantage of the remaining 21 days before the deadline for the end
of scheduled bargaining on Sept. 12. Although some progress
has been made during the talks, which contractually can only last
150 days, the two parties are far apart on major issues, such as
wage rates, retirement, insurance, and scheduling issues.
It's the end of the most turbulent chapter in Air Canada
history. An Ontario judge Monday signed off on the carrier's
reorganization plan, almost 17 months after it filed for
bankruptcy. As of next month, Air Canada will have fewer planes and
fewer workers, fewer subsidiaries and more international
routes.
Talks between financially-troubled US Airways and its pilots
over a new round of concessions broke down on Monday, increasing
odds that the airline might again have to file for bankruptcy.
