The pilots union for American Airlines says it and the company have reached an agreement in principle for a new contract. If approved by the pilots in three weeks, the contract would help pave the way for the Fort Worth-based airline to exit bankruptcy.

The Allied Pilots Association and American Airlines have an agreement in principle.

NBC 5 has learned that the APA has put together their last, best offer  that includes specifics with regard to no more furloughs and regional jets only having 76 passenger seats.

The APA Board of Directors presented the deal to the airline Friday afternoon and management with the company agreed to the proposal.

"APA designed our comprehensive counter-proposal to provide our pilots with an industry-standard contract while enabling American Airlines to complete a successful restructuring and compete on a level playing field with its network-carrier peers. The Board's vote on the motion to present the comprehensive counter-proposal was 13 for, two against and one absent," the APA said in a news release.

"The proposal we prepared was comprehensive and will level the playing field for American Airlines to compete successfully with/against United and Delta airlines and also recognizes the value that the profession brings to the corporation," said APA President Keith Wilson said.

"We are pleased to have reached an agreement-in-principle with the Allied Pilots Association. We worked hard with the APA's negotiating committee to structure an agreement that addresses the priorities identified as most important to our pilots, while staying within the economic framework supported by the Unsecured Creditors' Committee to ensure American's successful restructuring. As the APA communicated, the APA Board of Directors will proceed in compliance with policy-manual requirements and vote to send the agreement-in-principle to the membership as a tentative agreement for a ratification vote," American Airlines spokesman Bruce Hicks said in a statement.

APA members could possibly vote on the tentative agreement in early December. The APA Board of Directors has seven days to review the agreement before voting whether to send it to members.

Still No Arrest in Alicia Moore Case, Tributes Planned

No arrests have been made in the murder of 16-year-old Alicia Moore but a $15,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Meanwhile memorials are planned Friday and Saturday in Greenville.

Police Remain Tight-Lipped in Alicia Moore Murder Case

Right now, two men with ties to a murdered Greenville teenager are in jail, but neither has been charged with her death.

More Photos and Videos

Greenville police have released photos taken when a slain 16-year-old was getting off her school bus last week.

Alicia Moore was last seen leaving her bus last Friday afternoon. Her body was found in a trunk beside a rural Van Zandt County road on Tuesday.

Surveillance video from the school bus shows a dark-colored Chrysler or Dodge vehicle, possibly a minivan, directly behind the bus when Moore stepped off. Police said they would like to speak with the people in the vehicle as potential witnesses.

With no arrests in the case, the town of Greenville remains on edge.

"I usually walk a lot, but here, lately, I've been getting a car ride," Greenville High School student Cielo Reyes said. "Everybody is pretty scared right now to even walk anywhere."

Students wore purple -- Moore's favorite color -- on Friday.

Reyes made a special shirt for the occasion and bought purple shoelaces.

"She was always on time," he said. "She was dedicated to school, and she was just really sweet. There was no reason."

Police refused to take questions about the case Friday.

City spokeswoman Lori Philyaw said the entire force was busy working the murder case and could not be disturbed.

The Greenville Independent School District sent letters home with students to parents Friday, urging them to be vigilant with the chance that a killer is still on the loose.

"I guess we're all probably a little jumpy on that, but I'd rather err on the side of safety and caution than have something like this happen again," Superintendent Don Jefferies said.

A man accused of sexually assaulting Moore was arrested in August, but he was in jail at the time she was killed.

NBC 5 generally does not identify victims of alleged sexual assault, but Moore's identity was made public before NBC 5 learned of the allegations.

Another Greenville man was arrested Thursday on unrelated family violence charges. His family said investigators spoke about the Moore case.

But as of Friday, no one had been charged with her killing.

Greenville area businesses pitched in to offer a $15,000 reward for an arrest in the case.

Moore's family spent the day making funeral arrangements with help from community contributions.

Two in Custody Tied to Slain Teen

Quest for Answers in Death of Alicia Moore

16-year-old Alicia Moore's body was found in a trunk by the side of the road in Van Zandt County Tuesday, her family wants to know why when she was reported missing on Friday investigators didn't put information out about her until Monday.

More Photos and Videos

Two men in custody have a connection to a Greenville teenager who was killed and found inside a tool trunk, including a man accused this summer of sexually assaulting her, NBC 5 has learned.

Alicia Moore's body was found Tuesday off a highway along rural Van Zandt County. Moore, who disappeared Friday afternoon, was last seen at a school bus stop about a block away from her home.

Greenville police said Moore's mother filed a criminal complaint over the summer saying 49-year-old Terry Ramsire sexually assaulted the 16-year-old. He was arrested Aug. 23 and charged with sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child by sexual contact.

NBC 5 generally does not identify victims of alleged sexual assault, but Moore's identity was made public before NBC 5 learned of the allegations.

Ramsire has been held in the Hunt County Jail since his arrest on a $70,000 bond.

Although he was in jail at the time of Moore's disappearance, investigators are working to determine if there is a connection between his arrest and her killing.

Separately, NBC 5 has also learned that a man arrested Thursday in Hunt County on family violence warrants was questioned about Moore's disappearance prior to his arrest.

Friends of Tobias Whetstone told NBC 5 that police officers used a stun gun and restraints to subdue him after a struggle. Witnesses to the arrest also told NBC 5 that at least five police vehicles, including unmarked cars, were involved in Whetstone's apprehension.

Police confirmed Whetstone's arrest but wouldn't provide any information on the Moore slaying investigation or on any connection Whetstone may have to the case.

Whetstone's mother, Tracy Whetstone, said police searched their home Monday after Moore's disappearance was first reported. She said they were looking for evidence that would tie her son to Moore.

Police didn't find anything and didn't remove anything from her home, she said.

Tracy Whetstone went on to say that her son has an alibi, saying he was at her aunt's home all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

"It makes me feel real bad," she said. "I'm actually hurt about it, because I know my son would do nothing like that. We got witnesses where he was, and I know my son. I have faith in God, and I know he didn't do this."

When asked if there was any connection between Whetstone and the Moore case, Greenville police replied: "No comment."

Moore's body was found Tuesday inside a tool trunk along Farm-to-Market Road 47 in Van Zandt County. She was reported missing Friday after she never returned home from school. She was last seen exiting her school bus about a block from her home.

Fort Worth Police Ban Typing While Driving

advertisement

Click Here!

The Fort Worth Police Department now has a tough policy aimed at preventing crashes caused by police officers typing messages on their dashboard computers while driving.

An NBC 5 investigation has uncovered that distractions lead to frequent police crashes across North Texas.

Fort Worth's new policy says in part: "Officers shall not type on the MDC (mobile data computer) when the vehicle is in motion unless an exigent circumstance exists requiring immediate action."

"They're going to get the message that, when they are driving that vehicle, their focus is on arriving at their destination," Police Chief Jeffrey Halstead said. "This is an information source -- and it will be working as they're commuting -- but they cannot distract vision to this operational piece of technology."

The policy still gives officers some flexibility. Officers can still key in a one-touch response showing that they are in route to a call, arriving on the scene or have an emergency. But if they need to type anything more than that, they have to pull over.

The key was balancing the benefits of the computers with the risks, Halstead said.

Fort Worth police training has always encouraged officers to avoid typing and driving, but the department didn't have a written policy to back it up until now.

Halstead said he believes it's very important to have a policy in place that reflects what officers are told in training.

"We go to a class or a safety class or something, we are very, very good students immediately after the class, and then we slowly get back in our habits," he said.

According to new records obtained by the NBC 5 Investigates team, Fort Worth police had 15 crashes caused by all kinds of distractions inside police cars in the last three years.

Halstead said he personally has seen computers causing distractions.

"I saw officers that I know were distracted -- because they don't know who I am sitting next to them at a traffic light -- and they're in the police car that I'm the chief of," he said.

Arlington Police Changing Driving Policy Following NBC 5 Investigation

An open records request filed by NBC 5 Investigates has revealed even more crashes involving Arlington Police officers using dashboard mounted computers while driving.

FW, Dallas Officers Can Type While Driving

Local departments do not prohibit driving distractions that have caused police crashes.

The chief said he wishes the policy had been ready this summer when NBC 5 broadcast the first part of its investigation in July.

"I was a little frustrated in myself, because we weren't done with our policy and I was really proud of staff work on that and, if it had come out a few weeks later, we would have had it done," he said. "But it actually reminded us how important this issue is."

In July, NBC 5 Investigates discovered that a number of cities -- including Fort Worth -- did not have a policy in place to prevent officers from typing and driving, despite crashes across the state. NBC 5 Investigates had requested an interview with the Fort Worth Police Department, but it declined talk on camera at the time, saying in a statement that it was reviewing its policy on computers and driving.

Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price told NBC 5 Investigates in July that said she planned to raise the issue with the police chief.

"We will ask not only the chief, but we will ask everybody to take a look and at least be aware that there have been areas of concern in other parts of the state [and] to a look at where they are and see if they're still comfortable with it," she said.

Today, the mayor said she is happy with the chief's decision to tighten the rules.

"It's a pretty hard-hitting policy," she said. "It's all about safety for our citizens and for our officers both. We want them to not be distracted, and we want them to be as safe as possible on the streets."

In recent weeks, Fort Worth police hosted a training called "Beyond the Cones" that focused on avoiding distractions in police cars, including typing and driving.

"And just because you've done it once, twice, maybe a hundred times, doesn't mean you can do it with any success," said Keith Wenzel, of LifeLine, the national organization that conducted the training. "It just means you've been lucky so far."

Fort Worth hopes its policy can be a model for other cities.

"There's many agencies across the country that may see this story, and I compliment you do doing it, because now they can turn to us and ask, 'Can we look at your police? Can we find out how you did this?' And we're happy to assist them," Halstead said.

Teen Found in Trunk a Victim of Homicide: Police

Body Found in Trunk on Side of Highway

A construction worker found a body inside a trunk off the side of Farm-to-Market 47 near the town of Wills Point.

More Photos and Videos

The Dallas medical examiner has identified the body discovered in a trunk in Van Zandt County on Tuesday as a missing Greenville teenager.

Greenville Police Chief Dan Busken said during a news conference Wednesday that 16-year-old Alicia Chanta Moore sustained trauma. Greenville police, Texas Rangers and the Van Zandt Sheriff's Office is investigating her death as a homicide, he said.

Loved ones and Greenville residents remembered Moore during a candlelight vigil Wednesday night at the bus stop where she was last seen.

Busken said the medical examiner has not yet ruled on Moore's cause of death. Further details were not disclosed, and no motive or suspect was revealed.

Moore was last seen getting off her school bus at about 3:30 p.m. Friday. Cameras onboard the bus recorded Moore getting on at the high school and exiting at a bus stop near the corner of Bourland and Walnut streets -- about a block from her home.

What happened to Moore after she exited the bus is a mystery.  Moore's family notified police of her disappearance Friday evening.

Question are being raised about how police handled her disappearance. Police initially treated the case as a potential runway.

"I've been the one trying to get the word out -- fliers and stuff," said her aunt, Jessica Byrd. "They (police) didn't really fully get involved until Monday."

Busken said an Amber Alert was not issued because none of the circumstances related to Moore's disappearance met the criteria necessary to issue the alert -- including knowing for certain at the time that she was abducted.

"Early on, we had a very limited amount of information that we had to deal with," he said. "As we went throughout this weekend, we compiled more information."

Greenville Independent Superintendent Don Jefferies said the school learned Moore was missing on Saturday.  It attempted to trace her school-issued iPad but determined it had been reset and its tracking was disabled.

At about noon on Tuesday, a construction worker found Moore's body in a trunk that had been dumped along Farm-to-Market 47 near a bridge railing four miles north of Wills Point.

"We have a lot of work ahead of us with this investigation," Busken said. "We have received many tips from the community, and we hope those tips continue to come in. ... We must have cooperation from the community to do our jobs."

Moore was last seen wearing a white shirt, black undershirt, green jacket, pink headband and black glasses. She was carrying a black backpack and was also wearing earrings and a necklace. She was 5 feet 1 inches tall and weighed 97 lbs.

Anyone with information on her disappearance is asked to call the Greenville Police Department at 903-457-2900 or Crime Stoppers at 903-457-2929.

Obama Takes Ohio, Wins 2nd Term: NBC

advertisement

Click Here!

NBC News has projected that President Barack Obama will win a second term after he racked up a string of victories in crucial battleground states.

In an email to supporters before taking the stage for his victory speech in Chicago, Obama credited them for his victory.

"I want you to know that this wasn't fate, and it wasn't an accident. You made this happen," the president wrote.

For full Decision 2012 coverage, visit NBCNews.com.

One after another Tuesday night, crucial states that had been deemed toss-ups before Election Day fell into the president's hands: Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Iowa. With each Obama win, the path to victory for Romney got narrower and more demanding.

Finally, the results in Ohio put Obama over the top, handing him the Electoral College votes he needed to remain at the reins of a divided and anxious nation. Ohio has sided with the winning candidate in every presidential election since 1960.

"Today is the clearest proof yet that, against the odds, ordinary Americans can overcome powerful interests," Obama wrote in his email to supporters. He added: "There's a lot more work to do."

Romney's campaign director in Ohio, Scott Jennings, told NBC News the Romney campaign was not conceding Ohio.

So many people turned out to vote Tuesday that several crucial states, including Ohio, Florida and Virginia, remained open after closing to accommodate the people who waited in long lines that snaked from the doors of polling places.

Obama, the country's first black president who won election in 2008 on a promise of hope and change, triumphed this time with a starkly different message: asking voters to stick with him as he continues trying to fix the economy and improve America's standing in the world.

He survived a long, punishing, exorbitant race against former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney that highlighted two contrasting visions of the country. Where Romney emphasized the need to lower taxes, relax federal regulations and cut government spending, Obama promised to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans and deploy government's help in pulling the country out of the economic doldrums.

Obama's win also means that his signature piece of legislation, the over haul of the country's health-care system, will remain law.

The president's re-election, along with what appears to be no change in the balance of power Congress, means that, in broad terms, nothing that much will change in Washington.

The nail-biter that polls had been predicting for weeks didn't turn out to be much of one.

With so much riding on relatively few votes, the campaigns remained in war mode even after the candidates themselves stopped campaigning. Lawyers on both sides spent the day wrangling over early voting procedures, voter-identification requirements and the counting of provisional and absentee ballots.

Thousands of people struggled to vote in areas battered by Hurricane Sandy. Long lines and mass frustration dominated parts of the two states where many people had no place to live, let alone vote. In New York and New Jersey, officials scrambled for backup generators, and many residents were forced to travel to polling places outside of their neighborhoods. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie made a last-minute decision to allow victims who lost their homes to vote by email.

More than 30 million people, Obama among them, have taken advantage of early-voting laws and cast their ballots ahead of time.

The election offered a choice between two starkly different men: the buttoned-up, business-savvy Romney, and the still-popular but battle-scarred Obama.

But it was much more than that. It was also a decision about the role of government in American life; who ought to pay more taxes; the future of entitlement programs like Medicare and Medicaid; and the survival of Obama's signature domestic legislation, the overhaul of the country's health-care system.

At its core, the election reflected who the majority of America believed is better equipped to lead the country out of the economic doldrums, which has pushed record number of people to food stamps and other public assistance, and unemployment to 7.9 percent.

Obama will also have the power to remake the Supreme Court. Several justices have reached retirement age, meaning that whoever takes office in January could get the opportunity to tip the court's political makeup in his favor.

Obama, 51, was elected in 2008 on a promise of hope and change but was tested from the get-go. He inherited a near-collapse of the economy and national malaise over two lengthy wars. He was unable to rise above the partisan rancor of Washington, and his checkered first term left him bruised and humbled, but also adaptive. He claims that the economy would have been much worse if it wasn't for the economic stimulus bills he pushed through Congress, and counts among his top achievements a bailout of the American auto industry, the adoption of his health-care reform initiative, the education-reform program called Race to the Top.

Romney, 65, a wealthy venture capitalist who saved the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City from insolvency, first ran for president four years ago and never really stopped. His campaign focused on Obama's shaky economic record, promising to bring a businessman's experience to the problem.

Just a couple months ago, Romney was seen as headed for a landslide defeat, but he rallied with a dominant performance in the first of three presidential debates. That showing nearly eliminated Obama's lead, and the race remained tight until Election Day.

WARNING VIOLENT IMAGES: Police Arrest 9 in Spring Break Attack

WARNING VIDEO CONTAINS VIOLENT IMAGES: Police have arrested a total 10 men in the brutal attack of a Dallas native on South Padre Island during spring break.

New Progress For Spring Break Attack Victim

Derek Madrigal was attacked on South Padre Island while defending the honor of a female friend.

A Dallas college student who was severely beaten on South Padre Island during a spring break party has filed a lawsuit against the resort and sponsor.

Derek Madrigal, 21, was beaten by a group of at least 10 men, sustaining a collapsed lung and nine stab wounds.

Madrigal's suit charges Coca-Cola and the Isla Grand Beach Resort with negligence and says that the beach party they sponsored had a lack of security.

Nearly 10,000 people attended the spring break party on March 17.

According to the lawsuit, Madrigal noticed a group of men harassing a young woman and politely tried to intervene on her behalf. The suit states that members of the Texas Mexican Mafia, a San Antonio-based prison gang, pummeled Madrigal, stabbing him, punching him, kicking him and slamming him with beverage coolers.

Several onlookers videotaped the attack with cellphone cameras.

Madrigal, who nearly died of his injuries, said he continues to physically and mentally suffer as a result of the attack.

In the lawsuit, Madrigal charges that the party's sponsors failed to inform attendees that prison gangs would be attending, failed to check attendees for weapons and failed to adequately train or staff security at the event, which prolonged the attack and jeopardized the lives of others.

The lawsuit does not specify an amount in damages.

Madrigal said he does not know when or if the case would be heard in court.

A plane attempting to land at the Northwest Regional Airport in Roanoke hit a car on the runway Saturday afternoon.

Two people inside the car were hurt. This is the fourth recent incident involving an aircraft at the Roanoke airport in the last two months.

The Department of Public Safety told NBC 5 the plane was trying to land when it hit a Volvo SUV. 

"A 2005 Cessna Skyhawk was landing south on the runway," said DPS spokesman Lonny Haschel. "[The SUV] vehicle was on the airport property, what they call the perimeter road, and crossed in front of the aircraft. The aircraft landing gear hit the top portion of the SUV that was traveling on that perimeter road. The aircraft lost its landing gear and crashed here on the runway."

The Federal Aviation Administration is on scene and taking over the investigation.

The pilot, William Davis of Flower Mound, was not injured.  DPS identified the two people inside the car as Frank and Heather Laudo of Flower Mound. They were taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries. It's unclear why the car was on the runway.

Roanoke is about 25 miles northwest of Dallas in Denton County.

This is the fourth incident involving a plane from the airport in the past two months. On Oct. 12, pilot Phillip Witt suffered minor cuts and bruises when his biplane crashed into a pasture near the airport.

On Oct. 6, four members of a Southlake family died in a crash. The plane carrying Leonard Ledet, his brother Greg and sons Paul and Mason originated from Northwest Regional Airport. It crashed in Van Zandt County.

On Sept. 23, a pilot and flight instructor died when their plane crashed shortly after takeoff from Northwest Regional Airport. The incident killed flight instructor Charlie Yates and pilot Christopher Pratt.

New Details Emerge in Baeza Murder Case

Rockwall police say the man who confessed to killing 15-year-old Surie Baeza has a broken wrist presumably sustained in the attack.

Mother's Former Boyfriend Arrested in Teen's Death

Rockwall police say the estranged boyfriend of the victim's mother has confessed to the stabbing death of a 15-year-old high school student.

More Photos and Videos

Friends and family remembered a slain 15-year-old at a candlelight vigil on Friday night.

Surie Baeza was stabbed to death in her home on Tuesday. Her mother's estranged boyfriend, Juan Enrique Torres, has been arrested in connection with her slaying.

Loved ones gathered a few streets away from Baeza's home to remember the sweet, charismatic 15-year-old.

"She was always cracking jokes, really sweet to everybody, but tough when she needed to be," Rockwall Health High School sophomore Kristen Foster said.

It's a tragedy so horrific that it's nearly impossible for some of Baeza's friends to understand.

"My daughter is the same age," Tamara Shroyer said. "They are best friends. We went to her house yesterday, and my daughter was just waiting for her to come out and she just kept saying, 'She's not coming out. She's not coming out.' It broke my heart."

Baeza's mother, Irma Baeza, did not speak at the vigil, but her face spoke volumes about what she and her children are going through.

"I can promise you, the district attorney's office will do everything in our power to make sure Surie Baeza gets the justice she deserves," Rockwall County District Attorney Kenda Culpepper said.

Until then, friends and family are clinging to one another and their memories of Surie Baeza.

"I remember spending the first Christmas here in Dallas with Surie and her family," cousin Nadeli Honeycutt said. "I remember when Surie saw snow for the first time; the glow in her eyes was incredible."
