President Reagan s dramatic
Eastern Airlines to be
bought out by Texas Air
■ \ MIAMI (AP) — Racing against strike? deadlines from
. unions and default .threats from creditors. Eastern Airlines
announced’Monday .that it would be? taken, over by ag
gressive .-.cost-slashing entrepreneur Frank Lorenzoand his
Houston-based Texas Air COrp.
I Inion officials said they understood that lorenzo. whose
company also operates Continental Airlines and New York
Air, would continue Eastern, the nation's third-largest car
rier, as a separate airline.
Charles Bryan, president of the International Association
of Machinists local that represents 12,000 Eastern workers,
sent Lorenzo a telegram offering cooperation..
Bryan, who also sits On Eastern’s board of directors, said
Chairman Frank Borman told other board members he would
resign front the company following their IT:45 p.m PST vote
on Lorenzo's offer ,Borman, a foriner.astronaut, hits headed
ttte Miami-ltased carrier since 1075.
Eastern spokesman Glenn Parsons said Borman and other
company officials were unlikely to hold a news conference
Itefore today. .Lorenzo did. not return, repeated telephone
messages! '
Major creditors had given Eastern management a Feb 2H
deadline to present, a long-term plan to turn around the
airline. $2.5 billion In debt ken Mills, spokesman for ("hast;
Manhattan, one of the largest creditors, said it had no com
ment on the takeover.
• Late Sunday. Eastern reached agreement with its 4.200
pilots to avert a strike threatened for Wednesday, hut there
was confusion over the status of a tentative verbal accord
With flight attendants, who could strike March t.
The Texas Air agreement must Ire approved by Eastern's
creditors, shareholders and federal authorities. A union
source and a New York-based airline analyst, both speaking
on condition they not Ire identified, said Lorenzo's effort to
buy 51 percent of Eastern stor k could trigger a bidding war
from other sources.
The stock is reported to Ire for between $000 million and
$700 million in cash and securities, the two sources said.
Some union officials and Eastern employees were
dismayed at the takeover, citing what one called lairenzo’s
"anti-union " reputation
