Subpart A—General

§ 314.1   Applicability.

Section 43 of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, Pub. L. 95–504, establishes an employee protection program. After a determination by DOT that an air carrier has undergone a qualifying dislocation, the Secretary of Labor gives financial assistance to certain employees of the carrier. This part sets out procedures for the Department to determine whether a qualifying dislocation has occurred.

§ 314.2   Definitions.

As used in this part:

Bankruptcy means an adjudication of bankruptcy under Title 11 of the U.S. Code.

Carrier means an air carrier that on October 24, 1978, held a certificate issued under section 401 of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958.

§ 314.3   Conformity with subpart A of part 302.

Except where they are inconsistent with this part, the provisions of subpart A of part 302 of this chapter shall apply to proceedings under this part.

§ 314.4   Information requirements.

The Department may require any carrier to submit any information that it considers necessary to carry out its functions under this part.

§ 314.5   Major contractions.

A major contraction is a reduction by at least 71/2 percent of the total number of full-time employees of an air carrier within a 12-month period, and includes an advance determination of major contraction as set forth in §314.21. The method by which DOT determines whether a carrier has undergone a major contraction is set forth in subpart C.

§ 314.6   Qualifying dislocation.

A qualifying dislocation is a bankruptcy or major contraction of a carrier, the major cause of which is the change in regulatory structure provided by the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978.
