Thursday December 19, 3:15 pm ET
ARLINGTON, Va., Dec. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Transport Workers Union (TWU) of America, Local 547, representing US Airways' 107 flight crew training instructors, today reached a tentative agreement on further cost- savings measures.
"As difficult as these concessions are for our members, we believe that our contributions, like those of our colleagues, will better position US Airways to emerge from Chapter 11 as a much stronger and competitive carrier," said Bill Gray, president of TWU Local 547.
"Every agreement with our labor groups brings us that much closer to a successful reorganization and we are grateful that the TWU's flight crew training instructors have taken this action to support our restructuring," said Jerry A. Glass, US Airways senior vice president of employee relations.
US Airways continues to have productive discussions with its other unions on further cost reductions.
Last week the Air Line Pilots Association's (ALPA) Master Executive Council ratified its cost-cutting agreement and yesterday, the Communications Workers of America (CWA), and the TWU's dispatchers and simulator engineers reached tentative agreements on the restructuring. The other unions representing US Airways employees are the International Association of Machinists (IAM) - mechanics and related workers; IAM - fleet service workers; and Association of Flight Attendants (AFA).
