AMR Pilots Set to Vote on Tentative Labor Deal

Submitted by webadmin on

The pilot union at AMR Corp., parent of American Airlines, said that it will vote on a tentative contract with the bankrupt airline by early December, Reuters reported on Friday. The board of Allied Pilots Association on Friday approved the agreement-in-principle reached last week as a tentative agreement, which will now be subject to votes by its members, according to a statement on the union's website. The voting will be completed by Dec. 7 and the results are expected to be announced the same day, the company said. AMR, which is trying to reduce costs and emerge from bankruptcy, has already reached collective bargaining agreements with unions representing its flight attendants and ground workers.
