American Airlines Group Inc. pilot’s union leaders rejected a proposed contract agreement with the carrier that would have raised pay 19% over two years.
The Allied Pilots Association board of directors, which says it represents about 15,000 American Airline pilots, voted 15-5 against the plan, the union said in an email Wednesday after a meeting to consider terms in the tentative deal.
