Feb. 9 (UPI) -- The unions that represent flight attendants and pilots who work for American Airlines on Monday expressed frustration with the company's CEO, and in one case issued a unanimous vote of non-confidence in him.
The unions, which represent 28,000 flight attendants and 16,000 pilots that work for the airline, said that the company's leadership has set it on "an underperforming path" amid aviation experts noting that Delta and United, American's primary competitors, have made better decisions in recent years, CBS News and The New York Times reported.
"From abysmal profits earned to operational failures that have front-line workers sleeping on floors, this airline must course-correct before it falls even further behind," Julie Hedrick, president of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, said in a press release.
"This level of failure begins at the very top, with CEO Robert Isom," she added.
