American’s Mail Recovery Plan - Friday, February 18, 2005 at 12:20
TO:  All AA Local Fleet Service Presidents & Members

Dear Brothers and Sisters:

The TWU met with AA Senior Management today to review American’s Mail Recovery Plan. The chronology of events, which lead to the Postal Service suspending AA’s capacity from their domestic routing, was discussed as well.

The plan is both ambitious and challenging.  The USPS service level expectation is lofty and will require concerted effort to achieve and maintain.

The current manning associated with cargo and airport services mail handling represents 481 jobs system wide. At this time, American does not intend to reduce the TWU headcount.  However, the implementation of this plan and its success are in our members’ best interest.

Sincerely and fraternally,

John M. Conley
International Representative
