A union representing American Airlines Group<\/strong> pilots said on Monday its members had approved a strike mandate ahead of the busy summer travel season, although the chances of an actual labor disruption remain slim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Allied Pilots Association (APA), which represents 15,000 American Airlines pilots, held a strike authorization vote in April to put pressure on the Texas-based carrier for higher salary and better working conditions, Reuters<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 96% of the APA membership participated in the vote and over 99% voted in favor of authorizing a strike, the union said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe remain confident that an agreement for our pilots is within reach and can be finalized quickly. The finish line is in sight,\u201d American Airlines said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline\u2019s pilots received their last pay increase in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the vote, it would be hard for pilots to walk off their jobs because of a complex labor process in the United States that makes it difficult for airline workers to strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March, Delta Air Lines pilots ratified a new contract that includes $7 billion in cumulative increases in pay and benefits over four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American\u2019s chief executive has said the carrier is prepared to match the pay rates and profit-sharing formula that rival Delta provided in its new contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some airline executives are concerned that hefty pilot pay raises will inflate fixed costs and make it tougher to repair debt-laden balance sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

APA on Monday said its members will conduct informational picketing from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. local time at all ten of the airline\u2019s major hubs including Boston and Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
