Pilots at another big airline are rejecting a contract offer to seek bigger pay raises.
The Allied Pilots Association said Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2022, that its board voted 15-5 to reject an offer by American Airlines that included wage hikes of 19% over two years. – U.S. airlines will have to pay more than they expected to reach new contracts with pilots, who are using the leverage of a pilot shortage and rising travel demand to seek significant wage increases.
The Allied Pilots Association said Wednesday that its board voted 15-5 to reject an offer by American that included raises of 19% in three steps over two years. Union spokesman Dennis Tajer said American's management is focused on keeping pay increases as low as possible and has ignored crew-scheduling changes that the union claims will reduce the number of canceled and delayed flights.
“Management’s failure to invest in a pilot contract that levels up to meet passenger demand only creates more uncertainty for the holiday travel season and even next summer,” he said. American, which has about 15,000 pilots and is based in Fort Worth, Texas, did not immediately comment.
