“It’s an exciting day for American’s nearly 28,000 flight attendants and our entire airline,” said American’s CEO Robert Isom. “Reaching an agreement for our flight attendants has been a top priority, and today, we celebrate achieving this important milestone. Both the APFA and company negotiating teams had a shared mission of delivering an agreement our flight attendants have earned, and I greatly appreciate their work and relentless focus.
