American Airlines Pilots Protest Contract Clash at MIA

A day after pilots staged a silent protest at Miami International Airport to protest the airline’s attempt to have their contract thrown out, a federal bankruptcy judge gave American Airlines approval to reject collective bargaining agreements with the Allied Pilots Association. The decision invalidates the current contracts with the APA and allows American Airlines to impose cuts. American Airlines spokesman Bruce Hicks said he will communicate details of the plan in the next few days.
