PBS - Chasing the Sun - Eastern Frank Lorenzo gained control of Eastern Airlines in 1986. Disputes between labor and management would permanently ground the airline by 1991. Eastern Airlines' history traces back to 1927, when its predecessor, Pitcairn Aviation, first began. Three years later, the company changed its name to Eastern Air Transport. As its name would imply, Eastern dominated service along the Atlantic coast during its formative years, flying Ford Trimotors and Curtiss Condors between New York and Atlanta. Eastern expanded service to Miami in 1932, offering one-day service between New York and Florida. Soon, Eastern extended its routes as far north as Toronto, and as far south as Bermuda.
