APFA president did not see the National Arbitration Committee for action before

This seems to be developing a professional and president of the Flight Attendants Association, Laura Gladding letter to members of Congress a timetable.

This is nearly six weeks since the American Airlines and the Association of Professional Flight Attendants recently completed contract negotiations and more than three months later, in March asked trade unions to further negotiate the release. amr converter

According to Railway Labor Act, the National Mediation Board to decide whether an impasse talks. If the Board decided to do so, it released a 30-day cooling-off period of airlines and labor unions, trade unions, you can leave work.

Therefore, at least from the time the NMB will make such a decision until the strike began a month.

In her letter to the U.S. Congress, Gladding provide this situation:

"The board has no plans for further negotiations nor our decision to issue the request to be released. In fact, we do not expect until mid-August at the earliest of our petition to take further action."
This requires us to mid-September at the earliest.

Two industry analysts put forward their views, Wednesday the United States, the labor situation. The following is Michael Derchin, an analyst at CRT Capital Group, said:

"A flight attendant agreement could be reached this summer, or by the National Mediation Board to release the Labour negotiations. Because the Obama administration will set up a Presidential Emergency Board ikely, forces both parties to binding arbitration, rather than allowing the strike we believe reach an agreement through negotiations. "
(Derchin also reduce AMR's second-quarter estimates, from 3 cents to 1 cent loss of earnings because he believed that the U.S. unit of income will not reach exactly the same as his previous forecast.)

James Higgins, who Soleil Securities initiated coverage of the airline, said that his work is the "only active in the United States, the concern of the parent AMR." He pointed out, AMR estimates that its labor costs would be 600 million U.S. dollars in the cost disadvantage of competitors, "We do not know the actual gap is not higher."

"In any case, AMR's high labor costs, in particular, a major cause of unrest is that we do not buy rating on the stock," Higgins said.
