This Week: Airline Strike!
March 18, 2000
Doesn't it seem like every few years or so, there's some kind
of labor problem in the airline industry? A couple of years ago, the
American Airlines pilots went on strike, and now it's US Airways and
their flight attendants. Well, we've gotten a lot of calls and emails
from people who have US Airways tickets either on or after March 25,
that's the strike deadline for negotiations. For this week's
Traveler's Aid, I wanted to look at options. What can someone holding
a US Airways ticket do? Well, I called Dave Kasselvetter, a
spokesman for the airline. Now, the flight attendants have said
they're not going to completely walk-out, only strike on certain
specific flights. So I wanted to find out why the airline is choosing
to shut itself down, rather than fly some planes after the strike
deadline.
