The Association of Professional Flight Attendants, representing American Airlines flight attendants, has rejected a 17% immediate pay raise offer from the airline as contract negotiations continue. American Airlines and the flight attendant union have been struggling to agree on a new contract, differing on issues such as pay. Flight attendants have not received a raise since before the pandemic. The two sides are scheduled to meet with federal mediators next week in a "last ditch" effort to finalize a deal, and the union has told members to prepare for a possible strike if mediation fails.
