1.30.20 – Union Representing American Airlines Flight Attendants Supports Pilot’s Union in Lawsuit Over Coronavirus

DALLAS, TEXAS – “The Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA) is in full support of our Brothers and Sisters at the Allied Pilots Association (APA) in their lawsuit to protect our crew members and the flying public. With the recent World Health Organization declaration of a global health emergency, the coronavirus and the situation in China should be taken with the utmost seriousness. Every precaution must be taken to safeguard the health of our American Airlines crew members and passengers. Until we know more and can be sure that all crew and passengers will be safe from this quickly-spreading illness, we are urgently calling on American Airlines and the federal government to err on the side of caution and halt all flights to and from China. Our safety is not for sale. We stand with our pilots.”— Lori Bassani, APFA National President
