Publishing timestamp: 2023-03-09 15:48:00
Summary
The American Airlines pilots union plans to vote in April on whether to allow members to call a strike as talks for a new labor contract continue. This comes after American Airlines CEO Robert Isom said the carrier is prepared to raise pilot pay to match compensation at rival Delta Air Lines. However, even if the pilots union were to call a strike, it would not be immediate and would follow a lengthy process involving federal mediators.
