American Airlines giving leave to nearly 1,500 pilots in April

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.
