Atlantic Coast Airlines, the
Dulles, VA-based United Express and Delta Connection regional
carrier (ACA) announced it has been informed by the Air Line Pilots
Association (ALPA) that ACA's pilots have ratified a revised
conditional contract that includes reductions in pay rates and work
rule improvements- designed to allow ACA to present an even more
competitive cost structure to its partners. This new agreement is
conditional in that it would go into effect only if and when ACA
and United Airlines enter into a revised United Express agreement
and that agreement receives required bankruptcy court
approval.
Atlantic Coast Airlines President Tom Moore said, "The results of
this vote are a clear representation of the spirit of teamwork
between ACA and our pilots. We all know that these have been
extraordinarily challenging times for our entire industry, and once
again our pilot group has demonstrated that they are willing to
take the lead in creating solutions that meet these challenges head
on."
Chris Thomas, Chairman of ACA's Master Executive Council which
represents the company's 1,700 pilots said, "We look forward to
working cooperatively to achieve greater job security and
opportunities for future growth."
Atlantic Coast Airlines employs over 4,800 aviation
professionals. ACA operates as United Express and Delta Connection
in the Eastern and Midwestern United States as well as Canada. The
company has a fleet of 148 aircraft-including a total of 118
regional jets-and offers over 840 daily departures, serving 84
destinations.
