AA Temporarily Removes Fourteen Aircraft from Service for Evaluation

American Airlines has notified APFA that fourteen (14) of the Boeing 737-800 series aircraft have been removed from service for further inspection. An issue with two (2) of these aircraft stems from the upgraded interiors by one of their FAA-licensed vendors. Out of caution, the Company proactively removed the other twelve (12) aircraft that were also updated by this same vendor.

Normal pay protection per Section 10.J, 10.K, and 10.L of the JCBA apply for any Flight Attendants affected.

• Section 10.J. – Rescheduling
• Section 10.K. – Illegal Through No Fault
• Section 10.L. – Last Sequence of the Month Pay and Credit

Rescheduling and Pay Protection – JCBA Section 10

Thank you,
