From Jenny Schar (08/01/2020)

ExpressJet Brothers and Sisters,

I am deeply saddened by the Company announcement published a short while ago which revealed that ExpressJet lost United's ERJ145 flying.  It's shocking to reflect on what has transpired worldwide, throughout the United States, and among our industry airlines in only a matter of months.  I just want to let all of you know how sorry I am and that the Local will continue to do what we can to support you and Jeff over the next several months as more details become known.  

Sincerely,

Jenny Schar 

TWU Local 592 President


Update from Jeff Foster (07/30/2020)

Good evening,

As you have all I’m sure heard by now, United has decided to go with CommutAir as their sole E145 carrier. This comes as much a gut punch to me as it must to all of you.

I am sure you all must have plenty of questions as to what happens next as well as other questions. I don’t have any answers and have been told to expect some more details and guidance next week. If you have questions, I encourage you to write them down and be prepared for a Q & A in the coming days and weeks.  I wish there were something I could say that would make all this easier but at the moment, I am still processing all of this as I’m sure you are.

I will pass along any, and all information as I receive it.

In closing, I want to say it has been my pleasure to have worked with so many great people during my career at ExpressJet and that I believe it will be United’s loss to no longer have ExpressJet as part of their team going forward. You are all an exceptional group of aviation professionals.

Below is a message from Jenny our Local President. She asked me to pass this along in my email. I would like to add that she, as well as Gary Peterson, worked hard on our behalf over these last few years and did an excellent job representing us. I learned a lot from them and will be forever grateful for their efforts.

Fraternally,

Jeff Foster

XJT TWU ACR


Update from Jeff Foster (12/20/2019)

Greetings,

I want to take this opportunity to inform the group that we have reached a TA with the company.

The vote on the TA will begin Friday December 20th, 2019 and conclude Friday, December 27th, 2019. The vote will be conducted via your home email address on file with the TWU.

Upon ratification, there will be $1000 Signing Bonus issued by the company and paid out to all eligible voters. 

As we already have a General Membership Meeting Scheduled for Monday December 23rd, this will also be used as a forum to review the TA and points of interest such as significant or noteworthy changes from the Current CBA. This will also serve as an opportunity to shed some light on the process and provide some data on how we got to this TA.

A copy of the TA is attached. I will try and get a couple of hard copies in the office to be circulated among the group.

I would like to thank all of the parties who participated in the process on both sides of the table. 

Fraternally,

Jeff Foster
