A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
September 13, 2007

WELCOME BACK

We extend a Welcome Back to our members returning from furlough.  Let us also take a moment to recognize those who have chosen not to return, while we will miss having them back with us we wish them the very best in their new careers. 

The months ahead will no doubt present a number of challenges as we prepare to train 35 new hire instructors.  Of course the introduction of additional E190's and the implementation of A340 training (as well as having new hire pilots) should make the next 5 years a busy time for us all.  We hope that the airline will continue being profitable and provide financial security for all of our members.

We must remain at the top of our game as we face all the exciting challenges that lie ahead.  Be mindful that we must complete the training as-bid... show up at the scheduled time and ensure you complete all modules in the syllabus.  Let's continue to exhibit professionalism and do our very best every day!

Sincerely & Fraternally,
 Bill Gray
