American Airlines offers raise to Pilots to resolve Labor Disputes

(Fort Worth, TX) -- American Airlines is making a move to resolve labor disputes with its pilots and flight attendants ahead of the summer travel season.

The Texas-based carrier is offering pilots a substantial pay raise.

CEO Robert Isom says a proposed contract calls for an eight-billion-dollar increase in pay over four-years.

A spokesperson says flight attendants haven't had a raise for more than four years, and the union has brought in a federal mediator to negotiate.
