Well done gentlemen (and your elected leadership).
I don't know man.
You don't want this close of a vote by the MEC leadership on this sort of matter one way or other...

It might not have even gotten to all of the EGL pilots yet, so I'll let them post it when they get it. I'll send you a PM, though.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MEC Newsblast – MEC Meeting Result
Fellow Pilots:
The Master Executive Council of the American Eagle Pilot’s Union, the Airline Pilots Association (ALPA), voted today to reject management’s recent concessionary proposal. The company proposal would have given American Airlines Group (AAG) contract concessions in return for refleeting American Eagle Airlines with new Embraer 175 jets.
Company representatives made it clear that should the pilots and management fail to reach a deal, the company will not entertain future negotiations. Negotiators for AAG also stated numerous times that if a deal fails to be ratified, American Eagle Airlines will be downsized continually until it is small enough to liquidate.
Captain William Sprague, Chairman of the pilot’s union had this to say: “The vote today was about the future of Eagle pilots and the regional airline pilot profession. The pilots negotiated and signed a concessionary agreement during the recent bankruptcy, and management asked us soon after AAG exited bankruptcy for additional, significant concessions. Our pilots decided they were not willing to work for less than the company is already paying our peers. We will now begin the process of assisting our pilots in identifying alternative career options within the industry.”
During the coming days, ALPA will be working with the American Eagle pilots to help them find placement with other airlines. ALPA representatives will ask management for their timetable regarding the liquidation of American Eagle. Stay engaged as we move forward. The need for unity is more critical now than any other time in our history.
John Gardner, Chairman
EGL ALPA Communications Committee

What exactly do you expect management to say?
Is this real? Has eagle made any announcements on hiring? Pretty funny if they keep hiring while telling current pilots to look for work elsewhere.
AMR farming that flying out to other regionals
IMO isn't even remotely possible. This seems like a horrible bluff.

The story about the MEC vote is trickling out alongside cheerful "training pipeline" articles for Spartan/Eagle.
Kinda funny. Perfectly crafted release, IMO.
I'm impressed.
