American Airlines Pilots' Union Attempts to Save Airline Jobs
By AviationCrossing.com
The travel industry has been hit harder this summer than any other year, thanks to climbing oil and gas prices, and it’s the workers who are feeling the pinch.
American Airlines announced that it would scale back its workforce, including 200 pilots, by October. In response to the job cuts, the pilots’ union is seeking the courts’ help in saving these aviation jobs. The union plans to sue for the right to tell its members not to work voluntary overtime.
Lloyd Hill, the president of the Allied Pilot Association, said that the union was committed to using legal methods for mitigating pilot furloughs, and those members who were the most at risk of losing their jobs have been recalled back to their jobs.
Representatives from American Airlines couldn’t be reached for comment, but did mention that the union had not responded to a proposal that would offer incentives of up to 4.5 months of severance pay for some senior captains and allow the carrier to schedule pilots for more hours each month.
According to the union, American Airlines may schedule a 78-hour shift for pilots, but it also allows them to fly an additional five hours if necessary.
