Summary
American Airlines pilots have voted to allow their labor union to call a strike if necessary, as negotiations for a new contract continue. The vote does not mean an immediate strike will happen, but it is a rare move that shows the pilots' unity and resolve in securing a fair contract that includes pay raises and quality-of-life improvements. The airline believes a deal is "within reach" and that only a few issues remain to be resolved.
