50% Pay Rise: American Airlines CEO Earns Rare Union Praise After Landmark PSA Deal

The American Airlines labor story just received a rather unusual plot twist. Despite being under fire lately, American Airlines CEO Robert Isom just received high praise from a union leader. PSA Airlines’ flight attendants, a union representing regional crews that operate flights marketed under American Eagle, reached a tentative three-year contract featuring an immediate 10% overall wage bump, alongside boarding pay that was now worth roughly another 15-16% on average, alongside retro pay and scheduling upgrades as additional benefits.
