Veasey, Pastor and Colleagues Call on Obama Administration to Settle Lawsuit with American Airlines and US Airways 68 Congressional Democrats: DOJ legal challenge puts local economies and workers at risk WASHINGTON, D.C., October 16 Today, Representatives Marc Veasey (D- TX) and Ed Pastor (D-AZ) and 66 of their Democratic colleagues sent a letter to President Barack Obama calling on the Department of Justice (DOJ) to allow American Airlines and US Airways to move forward with a merger. In the letter, they voiced concerns about the legal challenge s economic impact on the workers, the traveling public and the numerous communities across the country that would be negatively impacted by the DOJ s legal challenge. The new American Airlines will be headquartered in Dallas-Fort Worth and will maintain a significant corporate and operational presence in Phoenix. The merged airline is also expected to maintain its hubs in Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix and Washington, D.C., where it will continue to support and strengthen those communities as a major employer and active corporate citizen. With more than 20,000 American Airlines employees in the DFW area alone, I have serious concerns about the Department of Justice s lawsuit against US Airways and American Airlines which will put the jobs of these hard working Texans and thousands of other Americans at risk. I believe this merger is good for our local economy, good for consumers, good for competition and should be approved, said Congressman Veasey (D-TX). I m proud to show my support for the merger of American Airlines and US Airways because it creates new economic opportunities for thousands of workers in Arizona and more choices for travelers. I hope the administration will recognize the benefits of this combination and settle the lawsuit immediately, said Congressman Pastor (D-AZ). See page two for the letter. 1

2 October 15, 2013 The Honorable Barack Obama President of the United States 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW Washington, DC Dear President Obama: As Members of Congress representing thousands of American Airlines and US Airways employees, we are writing to express our respectful disagreement with the U.S. Department of Justice s (DOJ) lawsuit against the proposed merger of American Airlines and US Airways. We believe DOJ s legal challenge puts at risk the future economic security of our constituents, tens-of-thousands of unionized workers at both airlines, and the economic well-being of communities that we represent. The proposed merger will not only increase competition, but will also increase opportunities for airline workers and the communities serviced by both American Airlines and US Airways. The combination will make both airlines a much stronger competitor against other airlines like United, Delta, and Southwest that have benefitted from recent mergers as well as a growing number of air carriers like Virgin America, JetBlue, and Spirit. The new American will provide millions of consumers with new choices onboard a premier global airline with a much broader network that will be a viable alternative to other large, global carriers both domestic and foreign. In doing so, the new American will provide financial stability for its workers, vendors, suppliers and communities who all rely on a healthy airline. We are concerned that the DOJ s lawsuit creates an atmosphere of uncertainty for our respective congressional districts and constituents. While we share your concern regarding any potential impact on consumers as consolidation in any industry is contemplated, we believe that DOJ s concerns as outlined in the complaint filed last month are not an adequate representation of all of the facts. We urge your administration to reconsider its efforts to prevent the American and US Airways merger from going forward. It is our hope that all parties involved can reach an amicable resolution that will not jeopardize the significant economic benefits this merger provides for the employees and communities of both carriers and the constituents we represent. Thank you very much for your consideration. Sincerely, Rep. Marc Veasey (TX-33) Rep. Ed Pastor (AZ-7) Rep. Alcee Hastings (FL-20) Rep. Gregory W. Meeks (NY-5) Rep. Robert Brady (PA-1) Rep.

3 More Voices Speaking Out This week, op-eds from Captain Bill Pollock, a US Airways pilot, and Bill Post, a current member of the board of directors of US Airways, appeared in USA Today and The Arizona Republic, respectively. According to Bill Post, The new American has the overwhelming support of the employee base of both airlines and the unions they belong to. They understand that the merger is about growth and about creating an airline capable of going head to head with the country s largest air carriers Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Southwest Airlines and a number of other fast-growing carriers. Furthermore, a better product and better network means the new American can provide their employees with better pay this is as true in airlines as it is in any industry. I have lived and worked here long enough to know that Arizona stands to gain enormous benefits from a new American. I also know this will not happen spontaneously and we need our leadership to embrace this new opportunity. As a fellow Arizona resident and air traveler, we deserve to reap the substantial benefits this merger will provide and the DOJ shouldn t force us to keep things the same simply due to the fear of change. Capt. Bill Pollock also expressed strong support saying, Our request is simple: We want the Justice Department to reconsider its ill-conceived decision to oppose our combination with American. Just days ago, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott announced that his state would withdraw its participation in the Justice Department lawsuit and support the merger. The Justice Department should follow Abbott s lead. We have earned the right to compete with United, Delta, Southwest and the numerous other airlines that keep our industry competitive by providing expanded service to our flying customers. We have done our part and stand at the horizon of an exciting, new future. Let us compete. Together. Save the Date Tom and Doug Visiting DFW Tom and Doug will visit DFW on October 18. For those of you in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, come to the In-Transit Lounge (access is across from gate D-37) at 1:30 p.m. for a Town Hall meeting with both CEOs. For employees outside of Texas, read next week s Arrivals for highlights. 3

4 American Airlines and US Airways Think Pink This October October 15 was a PINK kind of day with employees of American and US Airways supporting the fight against breast cancer. Throughout the month of October, employees at both airlines will wear pink to raise awareness for breast cancer and raise money to fight the deadly disease. That s why on October 15, American and American Eagle held their BE PINK Day and US Airways its first PINK OUT, with hundreds of employees across both systems wearing pink ties/scarves and other workgroup-appropriate items to show unified support. US Airways customers passing through Charlotte, Philadelphia, Phoenix and Washington, D.C. were treated to Minute Maid Pink Lemonade and pink cupcakes. At American, employees will raise money all month long for breast cancer research during the second annual Walk While You Work campaign, where friends and family members can sponsor the steps employees take in their day-to-day jobs. You can still sign up to participate in Walk While You Work at komen.org/aawalk. Customer service employees from both companies show their pink pride! From left to right, Vicki Weber, American Airlines, Scott Smith, US Airways, Pat Jones, US Airways, Terri Sifuentes, American Airlines, and Doug Stamper, US Airways. American and US Airways employees come together for a common cause at LAX. We ve done a lot in Boston to support BE PINK this year, and many of our Agents, Admirals Club Representatives and other colleagues are wearing pink ties, scarves and pins throughout the month, said Suiky Baez, Boston Flight Service Staff Assistant, American Airlines. I think it s great that our US Airways colleagues are also wearing pink ties and scarves, too. Eventually, we will be merged together and it s a great way to get both companies involved. If you can start something positive like that for an important cause, it speaks a lot about our companies and people. So far, US Airways has raised more than $130,000 through this year s campaign and American is working toward its fundraising target of $100,000. US Airway s BE PINK initiatives extend around the world all the way to Korea! 4

5 In Good Company: Managers and Friends Scott Millis, Mike Pulaski and Bruce Starkey The combination of American and US Airways will bring together two sets of employees who are the best in their industry. In some cases, the friendships between American and US Airways employees have long been in place. Mike Pulaski, Manager, Operations Engineering at US Airways Scott Millis (left) Manager, Operations Performance Engineering, and Bruce Starkey (right) Manager, Enroute Performance and Systems Engineering at American Airlines Three operations engineering team members, Scott Millis, Manager, Operations Performance Engineering, American Airlines; Mike Pulaski, Manager, Operations Engineering, US Airways; and Bruce Starkey, Manager, Enroute Performance and Systems Engineering, American Airlines have a long-standing friendship dating back to their time working together at Boeing. We spoke to them about their history and friendship in the airline industry. How did you become friends? Scott: Mike, Bruce and I were in the same group in Boeing s Flight Operations Engineering (FLOE) organization. We sat five feet apart. Our job was to build takeoff programs and databases for airlines use. Bruce: Being young guys in Seattle meant always having friends to play softball, bowl, tennis, hiking, golfing, everything. It was huge fun. Mike: I have to say that our friendships are based on a strong foundation of common values and technical knowledge. Any fun stories you can share from working together? Scott: The last thing I remember about Mike before I left Boeing was him working on the database for Boeing s latest airplane the Boeing was doing some new things and we weren t exactly sure how to use some of this new data. Mike had to work hard and fast as the deadline was approaching to get it together for the launch customer US Airways. I think the circle is complete. Bruce: Mike used to take me up flying in his Cub. I don t know when it was built, but it was older than both of us. We had great fun doing touch and gos flying into short fields. He taught me a lot about flying that you could never get flying a desk! Mike: We had some fun times together. I think I can recall I was correcting a couple shortcomings with the B database that Scott and I worked on as recently as this year when we retired the fleet. Anything else you d care to add? Scott: Mike and I have daughters born on the same day in We ve been wishing each other happy birthday for 16 years. Bruce: I started my career in 1984 sitting next to Millis and Pulaski. Now I can [hopefully] end my career sitting next to Millis and Pulaski. Mike: I have been tremendously fortunate to share my career with some brilliant engineers and wonderful friends. Without trying to sound patronizing, I place Bruce and Scott quite high on my list of both good friends and excellent engineers. The new American OE team will be the best in the industry. The future will be very bright from a combined perspective! 5
