American Airlines Inc.’s pilots proposed Thursday that they get a 30.5 percent increase on May 1, 2008, and 5 percent raises each year for the next three years.
The Allied Pilots Association made the proposal at midday Thursday to American’s negotiating committee.
“Other American Airlines stakeholders have already recovered their investment in our airline’s turnaround,” said APA president Ralph Hunter, a pilot. “It is time for our pilots to begin doing the same.”
