DALLAS — It’s been four years since American Airlines flight attendants last got a pay raise and the union representing them wants to keep the issue in front of the flying public as an expected busy summer travel season approaches.
On Tuesday, flight attendants represented by the 25,000-member Association of Professional Flight Attendants held an informational picket at Terminal A at DFW International Airport. It was one of nine such pickets across the country.
Alin Boswell, assistant to the national president of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, said with American Airlines returning to profitability and demand remaining high, “the time is now” for an agreement. He called on CEO Robert Isom, who just finished one year on the job, to make it happen.
