<p> When Frank Lorenzo flew Eastern Airlines into bankruptcy
court last year, he vowed to bring the carrier out stronger
than ever. But strikebound Eastern has lost $1.2 billion since
then, and Lorenzo has proved unable to reach an agreement with
Eastern's creditors. To break the deadlock, a U.S. bankruptcy
judge in Manhattan last week named airline-industry veteran
Martin Shugrue to serve as trustee for the troubled Eastern.
While Lorenzo's Texas Air company will continue to own Eastern,
Lorenzo will have no say in the airline's management during the
bankruptcy proceedings. Shugrue, 49, who will run the airline
and explore the possibility of selling it, knows Lorenzo well.
The airline tycoon last year forced Shugrue to resign from his
post as president of Continental Airlines, the other wing of
the Texas Air holding company. Members of the International
Association of Machinists, who had been staunch enemies of
Lorenzo, said they would seek immediate talks to end their
13-month walkout.
