Contract Renegotiation Update (Mainline AA)
As the economy slowly recovers from the pandemic and travel restrictions are eased, American Airlines has not yet seen the return of business travel, which is a major driver of its success. Analysts have projected a return to pre-pandemic passenger volumes across the industry by 2023 at the earliest. The CWA-IBT Association has decided to postpone opening the contract for bargaining until the airline is in a more stable position to avoid any unnecessary concessions. After the PSP sunsets at the end of September we should see a better picture of where the airline stands. Our plan now is to start the process in the early part of 2022.
Surveys will be coming soon. Please be sure that your email address is up to date. Email the Secretary at la.garner26@gmail.com with your updated information.
