                                Association, AA Executive Session Negotiations Continue

 Brothers and Sisters,

The Executive Negotiating Committee met face to face with American Airlines this week in Washington DC. This session was focused on Maintenance Training Specialists (MTS) and was very productive. Non-economic articles were discussed. Constructive dialog in a productive environment helped the parties significantly narrow their positions in numerous articles that produced an agreement on most outstanding language issues. Complete Tentative Agreements were reached on:

Purpose of Agreement

Preamble

Safety & Health

Uniforms

Qualifications

When the parties reconvene both sides will be prepared to begin discussions on the Scope Article and remaining language issues for MTS.

Additional weeks have been added to the negotiating calendar as follows:

December 4 DCA

December 11 DFW

January 8 DCA

January 22 DCA

February 12 DCA

February 19 DCA

Fraternally,
