In an email to employees, American had offered pilots the extra pay to work certain flights in the holiday period. But the union filed a grievance, saying that some restrictions on overtime pay violated the group’s contract.
The union said on Wednesday that management had still not reached out to discuss how best to resolve the shortage.
Unions never met a company they didn’t want to put out of business.
