About 40 years ago, in October 1971, REPA was born. It was first known as Eastern Retired Pilots Association. Captains E.M. Taylor and L.C. Transou (both under age 55 at the time) approached Col. Frank Borman on his feelings about them starting an association of retired pilots. Col. Borman was very interested and pledged full support from the company.

With our membership base now at approximately 1300 (Regular, Affiliate, Widows and Honorary) we are admired by most of the major airline retiree associations. We have taken the initiative to create this website, assemble essential information and present it in the most beneficial format. We want to inform the general public about our group, our mission and our goals.

Our mission is to foster the well-being and future growth of REPA by collecting, organizing, analyzing, and disseminating information about our group and related subjects. Our objectives are to increase awareness, to encourage development, to examine issues, facilitate exchange of information and to promote our interests.
