American Airlines at odds with pilots over China flights
30 November 2006American Airlines has rebuffed a demand by its pilots’ union to immediately negotiate terms of the carrier’s proposed service between Dallas and China.
Union leaders want concessions on pay for canceled flights and other items in exchange for supporting the airline’s bid for the China route.
On Tuesday, the company made a counterproposal to the Allied Pilots Association, asking that most of the union’s requests be discussed instead during regular negotiations on the pilots contract, which are in their early stages.
