ExpressJet MEC Special UPDATE
November 18, 2004
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. This is Capt. Mark Leneski
ITEM 1: ExpressJet Tentative Agreement 2004 Results
The voting results for the ExpressJet 2004 Tentative Agreement have been tallied and verified.
The Tentative Agreement has passed with 61% of the pilot group voting to ratify the TA. 94% of the ExpressJet pilot group cast a vote for our new contract.
I would like to personally thank the XJT Negotiating Committee, Strategic Preparedness Committee, P2P Committee and Family Awareness Committee for their extraordinary efforts over the past 3 ½ years. Through the efforts of these pilots we have achieved a contract that is truly industry leading.
I would also like to thank the ExpressJet pilots that volunteered their time and effort for this agreement. Without their efforts on informational picket lines, as P2P members and through special MEC volunteer projects, this contact could never have become a reality. It is also important to note that these while these volunteers fought for the rights of all ExpressJet pilots, they remained true professionals in every aspect of their careers.
The responsibilities of the XJT Negotiating Committee are not yet complete. In conjunction with the Contract Enforcement Committee, the NC will begin implementing our new contract. With the many changes that our new agreement provides, preparation in protecting the rights of our pilots will be a large undertaking. An undertaking that I am confident our Negotiating Committee can provide.
As we move forward in an uncertain airline industry under our new contract, let us always remember that the unity of this pilot group, your pilot group, will continue to allow us the ability to thrive as an airline and as a brotherhood of professional pilots.
Thanks and fly safe.
