FORT WORTH, Texas (Dow Jones)--The Allied Pilots Association, the collective bargaining agent for the 13,500 pilots of AMR Corp.''s American Airlines, alleges that the airline is negotiating in bad faith by adding a furlough of 1, 000 pilots to any deal.
We are perplexed by this last-minute change in attitude, and so are the mediators involved in our negotiations, the union said in a statement
In a press release Wednesday, the union said that the airline''s management now wants to furlough nearly 1,000 additional pilots without assigning any dollar value to those furloughs, essentially asking for $660 million in cost cuts plus additional pilot furloughs
