U.S. Trustee Tracy Hope Davis is objecting to American Airlines’ agreement to pay professional fees incurred by the Transport Workers Union (TWU) and Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA), the Dallas Morning News reported today. In a limited objection to new contracts approved by TWU and APFA members, Davis said that those fees and expenses should undergo the same scrutiny as those incurred by others involved in the bankruptcy case of American and parent AMR. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane is scheduled on Sept. 12 to hear American's motion to approve new collective bargaining agreements between American and the two unions.
