American Airlines Pilots Plan Airport Pickets Over Schedules

(Dallas, TX) — The American Airlines pilots union plans to picket at the airline’s major hubs this fall.

The Allied Pilots Association said Tuesday it will picket to protest overscheduling, fatigue, and a lack of hotels for crews this past summer. The union that represents American’s 15-thousand pilots is planning to picket at hubs, including Dallas-Fort Worth International, Miami International, and others “in the coming weeks.”

The pilot’s union and American Airlines are in the middle of contract negotiations.
