American Airlines pilots' union plan airport pickets as tension over fatigue, schedules heats up
during end-of-year holidays over similar issues. Those plans are still under considering, the union's president Casey Murray told CNBC on Tuesday.
The Allied Pilots Association, the union that represents American's 15,000 pilots, is in the middle of contract negotiations with the airline, as is the carrier's flight attendant union. The union said it was planning to picket at American's hubs in Miami International Airport, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and others "in the coming weeks."
"Our airline needs scheduling practices that support the safety margin, respect pilots' and passengers' needs, and de-risk American Airlines to protect and improve revenue," the union said in a note to members.
