Following is 751's response to media inquiries:

First, we send our condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in this tragic accident. Anytime something like this happens in the airline industry regardless of the airplane maker, we have the same concerns as anyone else. It would be irresponsible of us to speculate on this or any incident of this nature. There are regulatory agencies performing their duties that are tasked with the investigation. Therefore, we are not doing interviews.

Again, our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who lost their lives.

As a result of actions taken by our Union, thousands of our members will see an increase in their pay. Due to wage disparity issues caused by Company pay and hiring practices, the Union utilized our right to demand to bargain along with Letter of Understanding #45 to bring up concerns resulting in positive impacts for our members. Click here to read the union bulletin.

Also read the March AeroMechanic newspaper for more information on improvements on wage disparity, which will be posted online on March 1, 2019.
