American Eagle Airlines to become Envoy on April 15

American Eagles Airlines (2nd) (subsidiary of American Airlines Group) (Dallas/Fort Worth), previously announced and reported on January 14, 2014, will officially changed its name to simply “Envoy”(ENY) on April 15. The carrier will continue to operate under the American Eagle brand. The name change was destined when other carriers started adopting and operating under the American Eagle brand.

The current American Eagle Airlines (2nd) (becoming Envoy) was created on May 15, 1998 when Simmons Airlines was merged with Flagship Airlines and Wings West Airlines. American Eagle retained the Part 121 AOC and MQ (for the Marquette, MI base of Simmons) code of Simmons.

American Eagle-Envoy:

Leadership of American Eagle Pilot’s Union rejects management’s recent concessionary contract proposal, is this the end of Envoy?

Envoy’s (formerly American Eagle Airlines) (subsidiary of American Airlines Group) (Dallas/Fort Worth) pilots, represented by the Airline Pilots Association (ALPA), will not be voting on the new proposed company contract any time soon. The Master Executive Council of the American Eagle Pilot’s Union, voted down the latest contract proposal by the company. The company’s proposal would have given the company pilot work rule and further pay concessions in return for new Embraer 175 regional jets to be flown by Envoy’s pilots.

Envoy’s management has made it clear that if the contract was not approved the company would be reduced and aircraft reassigned to other American Eagle carriers. Once reduced in size, Envoy would be liquidated.

ALPA did not want its Envoy members to be flying for rates lower than other airlines and will now ask management about a timetable for liquidation. ALPA will help Envoy pilots find jobs at other carriers.

Is this the end of Envoy (like Delta’s Comair)?
