American Airlines Inc. employees to get 4 percent pay raises, while pilot contract goes to binding
American Airlines Inc. employees to get 4 percent pay raises, while pilot contract goes to binding arbitrationAmerican Airlines Inc. employees will get 4 percent across-the-board pay raises, including unionized employees if their union has a joint contract covering both American and US Airways employees.
At the same time, American announced that it is sending its pilot contract to binding arbitration after more than a month of negotiations with the Allied Pilots Association.
Included in the group getting the 4 percent raise are American’s flight attendants, who will get that increase on top of the higher wages included in a joint contract finalized last week.
It will not include unionized employees who do not yet have joint contracts covering the two airlines’ employees, such as pilots. Nor will managers above a certain level be covered in the across-the-board increase.
