American Airlines pilots have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike in pursuit of a new contract, which includes changes to scheduling to improve the airline’s “operational reliability and efficiency.” Although the likelihood of a work stoppage remains low due to the legal hurdles involved, the pilots’ union has stated that they are prepared to strike if necessary to secure an industry-leading contract. Negotiations have been ongoing since January 2019, with scheduling being a significant point of contention for pilots. The strike authorization is not primarily focused on pay, but rather on improving the quality of work life and predictability of schedules. American Airlines has stated that it is working to finalize the contract quickly. The Delta agreement could potentially set a framework for agreements not just at American but at United and Southwest as well.
