Summary
American Airlines is facing a scheduling glitch that has left thousands of flights without pilots for the busy holiday travel period next month. The airline is offering pilots 150 percent of hourly pay to work those dates, but the pilots union has filed a grievance saying the solution violates their contract. This issue has caused concern among investors, as American Airlines shares tumbled earlier this year after announcing pay raises for pilots and flight attendants.
