Dallas – American Airlines presented its pilots’ union with a contract proposal Tuesday that wouldn’t raise the rates of pay for pilots but would let them increase their income by flying more hours.
The proposal was outlined in a meeting between the airline and union negotiators. It comes a week before the Allied Pilots Association is set to lay out a revised contract proposal of its own.
The union’s board of directors began meetings Tuesday to develop a revised package.
American’s proposal lets pilots raise their pay by flying 82 hours a month, compared with the current ceiling of 78 hours.
