The Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA), which represents about 28,000 American Airlines flight attendants, said it has moved closer to a strike as the airline did not present a favorable agreement. The airline's flight attendants, however, cannot walk off the job until the National Mediation Board (NMB) grants them permission. This lengthy and complex process makes it rather difficult for airline workers to strike.
American Airlines put an unspecified number of employees on leave for their involvement in an incident in which several Black passengers were removed from a flight in Phoenix, allegedly over a complaint about body odor. American CEO Robert Isom wrote in a note to staff that the incident was unacceptable. "I am incredibly disappointed by what happened on that flight and the breakdown of our procedures,” Isom said in the note this week.
American Airlines (AAL) reachead $11.44 at the closing of the latest trading day, reflecting a +1.42% change compared to its last close.
