. AmericanAir pilots union rejects contract proposal with 20% raises
The deal is a blow to the hopes for a near-term resolution to the contract turmoil at American Airlines as the industrya deal that needed the approval of the leadership of the Allied Pilots Association and then the general membership. That tentative deal promised 12% pay raises on the date of approval followed by a 5% raise in one year and 2% in two years.
The union wants fewer pilots put on reserve, or on call, to allow those same pilots to pick up extra flights during periods of more delays and cancellations. The rejected contract came after the union representing Delta Air Line and United Airlines rejected their contract proposals and planned further action to escalate contract talks. Delta’s pilots authorized a strike and United pilots planned pickets across the country. Delta pilots would need federal approval before being allowed to strike.
Pilots at Southwest, Delta and United are also in contract talks, and leaders at all four major network airlines have said they are watching discussions at other companies closely, often pledging to match offers..
