The union that represents American Airlines pilots is calling out the carrier to make changes to a “woefully deficient by comparison” contract following the tentative agreement for United Airlines pilots that they say pays better.
The Allied Pilots Association, which represents American’s 15,000 pilots, notified members after the news that it would review ways to proceed. On Tuesday, Ed Sicher, president of the Allied Pilots Association, sent a memo to pilots saying that he spoke with Robert Isom, CEO of American Airlines and Steve Johnson, executive vice president and chief strategy officer.
It’ll be another week back at the bargaining table, in hopes to reach some updated agreement. The union was prepared to open voting on its current tentative agreement to members on July 24, but it will adjust based on procedure and input from its board.
