American Airlines pilots have reached an agreement in principle with the Fort Worth carrier, just a week ahead of the start of a busy summer travel season.
In a note to pilots, the Allied Pilots Association, which represents American’s more than 15,000 pilots, said the parties will wrap up contractual language for the agreement. Once completed, the negotiating committee will present the agreement in principle to the union’s board of directors for consideration. The board will review a week before a meeting proposed to consider the contract.
“Fellow pilots, thank you for your steadfast support throughout this lengthy process,” the union’s note read. “As always, we will proceed with the best interests of the pilot group foremost in our minds.”
