American Airlines Accidentally Let Too Many Pilots Take the Holidays Off
>We have reserve pilots to help cover flying in December, and we are paying pilots who pick up certain open trips 150 percent of their hourly rate — as much as we are allowed to pay them per the contractInteresting that there is a maximum rate.>In a post to its website, the union warned its members that because "management unilaterally created their solution in violation of the contract, neither APA nor the contract can guarantee the promised payment of the premium being offered."Looks like the pilots trust AA less than I do when they promise vouchers.
