AMR Corp.’s American Airlines and its pilot union are haggling about pay and flying rules as the two sides bump up against a company goal of getting a contract agreement this week to end talks that began in 2006.
Negotiations resumed today after Fort Worth, Texas-based American and the Allied Pilots Association recessed for the weekend. The union’s decision to take a break prompted a company hotline message to pilots that action is necessary “not next month, not next year. Right now.”
