Episode 43 - Aftermath —The Disputed Election of 1990 and ALPA’s Future, Part 1

Hank Duffy’s Executive Administrator Randy Babbitt wins the ALPA presidency in a closely contested election against Roger Hall.

Frank Lorenzo’s failure at Eastern is so complete that he, for all intents and purposes, is finished in the airline industry.

With no hope of an SOS (suspension of service), the Eastern pilots attempt a “back door” Presidential Emergency Board, which George Bush vetoes.

In response to the Eastern pilot strike, Frank Lorenzo files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

ALPA and Frank Lorenzo maneuver for the high ground at Eastern Airlines, and Lorenzo demonstrates that he has no intention of working cooperatively.
