The Unsung Heroes of the Skies: Flight Attendants at American Airlines

Flight attendants are more than just the smiling faces aboard American Airlines flights; they are the heartbeat of the airline's success. Despite facing challenges in compensation and work rules, these dedicated professionals continue to show unwavering commitment to their passengers day in and day out.

Throughout the pandemic, American Airlines flight attendants exemplified resilience and dedication. They braved unprecedented dangers to ensure passengers reached their destinations safely and with care. While many stayed home to protect their health, these essential workers stepped forward, ensuring essential travel could continue.

Flight attendants are the front lines of customer service, safety, and comfort in the skies. Beyond serving meals and ensuring safety protocols, they provide a reassuring presence in times of turbulence, both literal and figurative. They embody American Airlines' commitment to excellence and passenger satisfaction.

Now, more than ever, American Airlines flight attendants are ready for a new contract that acknowledges their invaluable role. They seek recognition for their hard work and dedication, advocating for fair compensation and improved working conditions that reflect their integral part in the airline's success.

Together, let's support the flight attendants who make American Airlines soar.

Why We Fight

Time for Recognition: American Airlines Flight Attendants Demand Fairness

American Airlines prides itself on being a leader in performance metrics and categories within the industry. However, its flight attendants have not seen corresponding recognition for their pivotal role in achieving these milestones. As the airline excels, the disparity between the hard work of its flight attendants and their compensation and work rules has become increasingly apparent.

Flight attendants at American Airlines find themselves falling behind their industry peers in terms of pay and work conditions. Now more than ever, American Airlines flight attendants are advocating for pay and work-rule improvements that are long overdue. They seek a contract that reflects the realities of their demanding job and recognizes their sacrifices and dedication.

They are not just asking for recognition of their hard work; they are demanding it. Their commitment to passenger safety and satisfaction deserves nothing less. It is time for management to acknowledge their contributions by negotiating a contract that aligns with their essential role in the airline's success. Fairness and respect are not just aspirations but essential components of a thriving workforce.

Together, let's support American Airlines flight attendants in their pursuit of a contract that recognizes their hard work, sacrifices, and the increasingly demanding nature of their vital profession.

What We Need

Pay for Duty Time

American Airlines flight attendants, like many in the industry, are not compensated for essential duties such as boarding and time between flights. This widespread practice overlooks the significant contributions these professionals make to passenger safety and satisfaction.

It's time for fair compensation that acknowledges all hours worked by flight attendants. Paying for these essential tasks is crucial to recognizing their dedication and ensuring equitable treatment in the airline industry.
