DALLAS — The frustration between airline workers and management is hitting highs just as travelers prepare for another busy travel stretch over Thanksgiving when carriers could be once again pushed to the maximum of their operating limits.
American Airlines flight attendants and Southwest Airlines dispatchers plan to picket at Dallas-area airports this month, hoping public pressure can break a stalemate in ongoing contract negotiations.
The picketing comes after a tumultuous month of negotiations between pilots and management at United, Delta and Fort Worth-based American Airlines that’s resulted in three rejected deals and a threat to strike from one pilot group.
