© Reuters. American Airlines says hundreds of flights still lack pilots in December
  • American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL) says it still has "a few hundred" flights without pilots assigned to them in December, compared to a peak that AAL’s Allied Pilots Association union estimated at 15K, because of a scheduling error that gave too many pilots time off during the busy holiday season.
  • AAL expects the number to continue to decrease over the next several days as more pilots agree to operate flights during the holiday period.
  • The union is skeptical of the company’s numbers, saying it "is able to view in real time December flight crew assignments for American Airlines. In fact, thousands of flights are still listed as unassigned.”
  • AAL has a tense relationship with its pilots union, which has filed a grievance for “improperly restricting” the ability to earn extra pay on some trips and has been vocal about its concerns over AAL's willingness to work together to resolve the issue.
