EXPRESSJET AIRLINES

NEGOTIATIONS / MERGER UPDATE

Your negotiating committee met at the Union’s William W. Winpisinger training center in

Hollywood, Maryland from August 26 – 29, 2010, to finalize contract proposals which will be

presented to ExpressJet management in Houston on September 20, 2010. Your committee is

well prepared to begin negotiations and achieve another industry leading contract for our

members.

On August 30, 2010 the committee joined with Executive Board members and Communicators

from all four Local Lodges as well as all ExpressJet grievance representatives, for a second

Merger Summit during which we developed a Strategic Plan to preserve the rights and seniority

of our members during the unsettling acquisition/merger process.

In early October, President-Directing General Chairperson Tom Higginbotham and General

Chairperson’s, Kate Romanausky and Randy Hatfield will meet for the first time with ASA

management in Atlanta.

Fraternally yours,

Kate Romanausky
