American Airlines’ Philadelphia pilots call for CE’s removal

American Airlines pilots have grown increasingly unhappy with the carrier’s performance, leading Philadelphia pilots to call for the removal of CE Doug Parker while the national union plans a demonstration in Dallas next week. Allied Pilots Association represents about 15,000 American pilots. It plans to demonstrate in Dallas Jan 29. A union spokesman says pilot interest in participating is high. With 1,400 members, the APA Philadelphia base is the fourth largest of the union’s 10 bases. In the resolution approved Tuesday, Philadelphia pilots resolved that, “It’s in the best interest of the American Airlines shareholders, employees, communities it serves, and the traveling public for Doug Parker and his management team to be replaced. <br/>
