American Air CEO Agrees to Meet Pilots Union After Criticism
The board of the Allied Pilots Association said in a letter late Friday that it wants Nick Silva, the union’s president, to formally present its concerns to American’s directors, arguing that the airline lacks a clear identity or credible long-term strategy. Isom on Saturday responded in his own letter saying he’s “interested in addressing the issues that most concern our pilots,” including the handling of winter storms, attendance policies and the business plan to “return American to its rightful place atop the industry.”
