Atlantic Southeast Airlines (ASA) pilots on December 15 picketed the company’s newest flight crew base, at Los Angeles International Airport, to protest the lack of progress in their contract talks with management.
“The ASA pilots want the local community to be aware that they have been in labor contract negotiations for more than four years, despite the substantive profits both ASA and parent company SkyWest continue to post,” said the pilots’ union representative, the Air Line Pilots Association, in a statement. “The extended duration of these negotiations by management is unnecessary and a manipulation of the intent of the Railway Labor Act, which governs the collective bargaining talks.”
