☆ US airline pilots fight their unions to increase retirement age
  + stars: | 2023-08-22 | by ( Rajesh Kumar Singh | Allison Lampert | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +7 min
Increasing the age limit by two years would also align pilot retirement with the minimum federal retirement age, allowing them to receive full social security benefits. But the specific question of increasing the retirement age to 67 was never brought to the floor for a vote. “This is a coup by junior pilots against senior pilots,” said Allen Baker, who retired as a United Airlines pilot in June. Dennis Tajer, a spokesman for American Airlines pilots union, said pilots seeking higher retirement age want to keep earning longer. But United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby has said lifting the retirement age would not solve the pilot shortage.

☆ American Airlines is breaking up with one of its regional carriers — and the pilot shortage is partly to blame
  + stars: | 2022-12-19 | by ( Taylor Rains | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
American Airlines is severing ties with regional carrier Mesa Airlines, citing financial and operational struggles. The regional carrier is currently finalizing a contract to fly its CRJ-900 planes for United Airlines. In June, American raised pilot wages at its wholly-owned carriers to attract more talent as the industry battles a shortage. "Envoy and PSA recently announced new crew bases at PHX and DFW, respectively," Kerr said in a memo, referring to two regional carriers American owns itself. "Anything beyond that limit must be flown by United pilots" — not pilots from regional carriers like Mesa.

WASHINGTON, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Mesa Airlines (MESA.O) said late Saturday it is finalizing an agreement to operate regional flights for United Airlines (UAL.O) after an announcement it will wind down flights for American Airlines (AAL.O) early next year. American Eagle is a network of six regional carriers operating 3,400 daily flights under a codeshare with American – often flights to smaller regional cities. Three of the six are American Airlines subsidiaries, and three are contract carriers including Mesa. Mesa said the switch was prompted by a regional pilot shortage and American's actions related to that. But, Ornstein added in the Mesa memo, "American chose not to fund the higher pilot rates for their non-affiliated carriers.
