American Airlines is offering paid leave in April to nearly 1,500 pilots
who volunteered to help the carrier pare down its payrolls following an
unprecedented drop in passenger traffic.
That total includes about 600 pilots of Boeing 737 and Airbus
A320 aircraft — or half the number the Fort Worth-based airline told pilots it
needed. American blamed a "miscalculation or miscommunication" for
the reduction.
American
originally told pilots it would offer short-term leave in April
with partial pay to 1,200 Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 pilots.
