The PAA MEC worked to ensure its pilots had fair working agreements, and focused on retirement and insurance for all levels of cockpit crew. In 1980, Pan Am bought National Airlines (NAL) in an attempt to expand their domestic routes and increase revenue. The MEC pursued an evenhanded merging of the two seniority lists, however the end product caused some frustration among the pilot group, particularly those lower on the seniority list. In the end, the merger wasn’t enough to save the airline and PAA declared bankruptcy on January 8, 1991. The PAA MEC Records include MEC meeting minutes, agendas, and supporting documents from the 1980s and 1990s, as well as administrative, and Retirement and Insurance Committee files from the 1970s-1980s. The Pan American-National Airline merger is covered through subject files, arbitration hearing transcripts, and exhibits from both the PAA and NAL ALPA, and the PAA and NAL Flight Engineers International Association (FEIA).</p> https://reuther.wayne.edu/node/11550#comments Air Line Pilots Association Airline pilots Airlines Airlines--Collective bargaining Airlines--Management Airlines--Mergers--United States Airlines—Employees—Labor unions Airlines—Technological innovations—United States Flight Engineer&#039;s International Association National Airlines Pan American World Airways Pilots Tue, 15 Apr 2014 10:37:15 -0400 srafferty 11550 at https://reuther.wayne.edu
