AMFA National - Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association

Dear Fellow AMFA Members,

A great deal of concern has been generated due to the recent sale of Mesaba Aviation Inc. to Pinnacle Airline Corp. It seems that there are more questions now than answers, and there has been a great deal of speculation as to what the future holds for us. Please remember, we need to deal in the facts as they are presented to us, speculation will only cause undue stress and concern for everyone. Our uncertain future is a very unsettling feeling, with that said, I would like to point out a few things that we do know.

Dear Members:

Today’s announcement that Mesaba Aviation Inc. (the Company) has been acquired by Pinnacle Airlines Corporation generated a number of questions on how the transaction will affect Mesaba’s Technicians. The short answer is that the sale of the Company should not impact AMFA represented employees in the near term.
