September 2, 2011 - Members of the American Eagle pilots union, a unit of the Air Line Pilots Association, Int’l (ALPA), announced that they have reelected Capt. Anthony Gutierrez to serve as chairman of the union’s governing body, the Master Executive Council (MEC). Also reelected during the union’s regular semiannual meeting were Capt. Dave Ryter as vice chairman and Capt. Gaston Valdovinos as MEC secretary-treasurer. The two-year terms are effective September 8. The reelection of all three officers signals the support the Master Executive Council has for the current direction of their union during this challenging time.
